Another open morning.....

Felt better this morning, decided not to take any jobs because I have the two private students this afternoon, though one of the DOE jobs, the one at a magnet school in Queens, sounded good. Maybe Thursday----anyway, in a bad mood now; most recent articles in New Yorker, about a guy named Niederhoffer, my class (64) , and his speculation---a kind of God in his own mind, with the money markets to back him up, then an article about the okay of that parking lot for the new Yankee Stadium; more exploitation by Bloomberg and friends of the people who live in the neighborhood---I am exasperated by my inability to do anything to prevent this---other than that, a nice day yesterday, enjoyed being at the Reading-still people seem very unaware of how to really create something unique in the musical theater form; or am I simply stuck back in the fifties---see what this evening will bring.......
