Sporing trunk shows have been completed — except for Kansas City which is this week. Last week Angela and i were in Boston. We had a free day on Tuesday. She went to Providence to visit her son and I to Gloucester with my friend Lee. I had not been to G. since about 1958 and found it a bit disorienting at first. But once I got my bearings while searching for an old family friends lovely house between the moors and Bass Rocks it became nostalgically familiar. The old house was there, but the property had been divided and diminished. The old Moorhead Hotel was gone — where I had once been King Neptune while my girlfriends were all mermaids. The culinary highlight was the box of freshly fried clams Lee and I shared at about 5 in the afternoon at The Lobster Pool. Totally fulfilled my fond memories. Next time i hope to see Bellport .
The best thing in Boston is the exhibition of Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto at the MFA. Do not miss it. It is on until August 15th and contains as many juicy pictures as you are ever likely to see in one exhibition. Follow that with a fried oyster appetizer, a lobster roll and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc at B and G Oysters and call it a banner day.
Stop also at Louis in their glorious building and enjoy the lovingly displayed and selected accessories, dishes, clothes etc. Too few customers appreciating all the efforts they have made. I encourage everyone to buy something beautiful, lasting and of the best quality wherever you see it. Life-enhancing.
