working at

Friends tomorrow, thank goodness, feel much more relaxed now---the weekend, many walks---took L to Jefferson Avenue stop---walked around, area seems very hispanic---circled Maria Hernandez park---then walked west to Flushing Avenue---which seems to stop Bushwick dead in its tracks---the beginning of "East Williamsburg", but certainly the end of Bushwick. Wandered around East W, lots of people out with dogs, etc---then up Bushwick Avenue to Montrose and then home, only to return to-----Williamsburg (of course) for the Paradise Lost compilation. Sunday, ofcourse, the long walk from Heights Cafe to 5th and 12 street in Brooklyn. Easy walk, took very little out of me----yesterday visited the Polo Grounds, stood outside of what was the field, traveled down to the subway, probably the first time I was there since age 13. Remember that long walk up the stairs, then up to small ramp to the ticket sellers. Amazed and put off by the abrupt transformation of harlem---another example of our powerlessness.? How will the "crisis" effect the building? Anyway, soon off to the Bronx to work with Chelsea....later.....
