an interesting....

decided to go to the Scorsese movie in the afternoon---okay, then headed to South Fourth, had my coffee, a nice time, then decided to check in at Heights Cafe----to my surprise had a very good time, even if I had to hear of the death of two regulars, Charlie (a great surprise) and Victor, an older teachera t Saint Ann's. Still everyone was very friendly, very happy to see me, had a good conversation with a gentleman named Aaron, and Tom told me about his adventures at the Met as a standby for a non-speaking part in La Rondine. Still is an older peron's bar, no doubt about it, but felt very gratified after I left. Many other interesting places in Brooklyn that I would like to check out, but begs the question---if you are at home in certain places, how can you visit others? Asssuming, that is one is on a tight budget, which I am, and also has a stomach that can only receive so much. Anyway, a good time was had by all, tomorrow I will tutor in the Bronx, today decide what to do before I see the musical at Urban Stages this afternoon at 5:30.
