Saturday.....

A few feet away from me...at Licoln Center Library---the met is doing Die Walkiure---box office looked kind of empty---still decided to listen to it, or atleast most of the first two acts, on the radioi at home----why? Strange feeling of too much closeness to the true material-----need the distance---but remember, this is where you met Pat a little over 40 (yes 40!) years ago---afraid to recreate...? Had my fifth day at Friends Friday, exhausting, but a lot of fun, or whatever...really feel close to the kids...wonder if it is necessary to do any subbing at other schoools....anyway, no work for Monday or Tuesday, is that to the good? Do I need a few days to regain my strength? Ratner wins another court case---disturbing--so much blatant aggrandizing, how can one feel good about the city...any yet...what happens after the opera...who knows.....Alvin's party is tomorrow.........
