that line 6th Avenue from 23rd to 24th Streets.
Returned East on 24th Street

Between 6th and 5th Avenues.

Tuesday
May 26th
7 a.m.
Morning Surprise
Two Nails

 The power chord that goes above the door and
all the way over to the outlet
had dislodged.

It had been secured many years ago when the stove was installed. Things fall apart. Fact. I can get it back with a ladder and hammer the nails back in. but I think it might also be time to ask for help. The stove needs to be moved, cleaned under and some holes plugged properly.
I got a good start and by the way, the kitchen is not yellow (wish it was) but the room light produces this tone.

Edwin Booth
Gramercy Park
John Wilkes Booth's older brother, Edwin Booth, was a popular Shakespearean actor. He did not perform for a while after Lincoln's assassination and his brother's subsequent execution, but he eventually returned to the stage. Toward the end of his career, Booth founded the Players Club on Gramercy Park South. The Players Club presented the statue of Booth as Hamlet to the park in 1918

 Oh, I'm lost in it...days and nights roll into one another.
Got to clear this desktop!
