Murray’s Cheese just sent a list of their fall classes and they all look fabulous. The only difficulty is deciding which ones, especially now that they’ve added chocolate and beer to the curriculum. Murray’s classes would make a wonderful date activity as well… as long as you’re not dating a lactose-intolerant anorexic tee-totaler. Murray’s Cheese 254 Bleecker St. (between 6th & 7th Ave.) New York, NY 10014 (212) 243-3289 The Green Table in Chelsea Market, Mary Cleaver’s catering/take-out/restaurant treasure, is expanding the restaurant hours to Monday-Saturday Noon til 9pm, making it a viable dinner option. They also serve up great take-out lunch boxes Mon-Fri that meet every nutritional and buzzword requirement (organic! seasonal! local! sustainable! …the musical is unfolding in my head right now.) Even when I’m traveling out of take-out radius, I still open the daily menu emails, since they read like gourmet poetry. Green Table (inside Chelsea Market) 75 Ninth Ave (btw 15th & 16th) 212.741.6623 related: links for 2006-05-09 (healthy stuff)

I was catching up on Gretchen Craft Rubin’s wonderful Happiness Project and noting August was all about memento mori (”remember you must die”), when my brother walked in and asked if I wanted to see a great movie, Ikiru (”To Live”), about a man who learns he is dying of stomach cancer and realizes he hasn’t really lived yet at all. I found myself completely engrossed (closed my laptop!) in Kurosawa’s beautiful, timeless, moving film and repeating scenes so I could enjoy them again. One scene that touched me was Toyo explaining to Kanji the happiness she derived from making toys that other people would enjoy. I couldn’t help but think of Chumby! I know it won’t make me as happy as I think it will, and I’ve come to appreciate the desire itself without requiring its fulfillment. Nonetheless, I want a Chumby to wake up, play with and make fun mods for… now! Bonus: Meditate on your death with Bob Thurman in the beautiful temple of the tigress lair, Taktsang Monastery in Paro, Bhutan. Ikiru, Directed by Akira Kurosawa on Amazon, IMDB, Wikipedia, Criterion Collection, Time’s all-time 100 movies.
