value at....

Exhausted! Spent the day at 163, somewhat missing Friends, but who knows, maybe they had no work for me.....what can you say....kids are nice, I really like them, but so frisky....not out of control in any way, but the impulses.......and had to improvise my way through the day, still feeling tired, but.......what else....found a nice place to be in Fort Greene yesterday night, a sort of upscale alternative to Tilly's but the food looked great, and the ambience was really nice; Layla was really good....I think it is hard to appreciate just how good she is...walked back to the subway with Jeannine, will see her on Saturday, I guess---still puzzle by the contradictions of the city---never has there been a more aggressive and stultifying push by realtors to transform the city into something ugly, yet never have I found people to be more friendly and receptiv...so who knows, there is atleast a populist movement brewing because of all this building...we'll see.
