the absense, II

Quiet, easy night last night, did just what I said I would, went to South Fourth, laid back, talked only to guys---not that great---but that is how it turned out. Pleased, because I challenged myself to not spend money, and I succeeded, but woke up feeling a little empty. Well it is that kind of weekend, will probably work with Brandon tomorrow morning...means that once again I will miss going to see Annie at the Heights..wonder if Tampa Bay will ever get some pitching help for their hitters...enjoying reading the book about the 1912 election, learning a lot about TR, Taft and others...strange that the issues of those times have not changed much...beautiful day today, will probably watch Yankee game at South Fourth, then see...small possiblity that I will go to SI Yankee game tomorrow...hard to tell...what about that bus trip down Bedford Avenue, through Brooklyn, is that a possibility? Tomorrow will tell......
