maybe tonight Flute

Just came from a two hour session with Kevin---we are doing well together, his parents gave me a nice gift---just what I needed. Would have liked to see A Free Man tomorrow, but TDF is off until Monday----may go down anyway and try to get in---tonight will try to see Flute at Met, not too anxious to go, but Ashley is my friend and I am anxious to support her. Will probably have to stand, but can do it. Otherwise, should make an appearance at South Fourth soon, the cold has kept me away---strange week, without much structure---but the students have gotten these enormous packets--so there should be plenty of work. If not the play tomorrow, then the dinner with Bobby at La Flaca, and probably a movie. We will see what works....

yesterday, another trip...

and one that I didn't really plan to make---to take the F train all the way out to Ditmas Ave. but there I was---ready to go east to find a cool place to have coffee. How to describe the quiet when getting out of the station. It's like a different city---still fascinating, the walk accross Ocean Parkway, to Coney Island Avenue, and then to those four blocks or so where the Cortelyou Road energy lives. Found Quadra, a nice littel coffee place, next (ironically enough) to the neighborhood Connecticut Muffin. Still, to walk from Macdonald to Coney Island Avenue, it is like entering a different world, none of the dynamics of neighboring Park Slope or near the Park. The streets seem to exist on their own. Always like to go there----returned home very tired, could not do much more then rest and then sleep, did listen to some Schubert and beethoven, though----very fulfilling.

a state of.....

exhaustion---can you blame me....yesterday at Friends, then the games, then the reading of the Three Sisters, then interacting with the cast, then home at about 11:45. This morning, no calls, feeling totally exhausted---but will go to the Christmas assembly this afternoon, hope to see those kids from 10 and 09. So where are we....feeling very accomplished re my life and interaction, trying to deal with the "intangibles" that might be stronger---you know what they are. Still, looking forward to the holidays, if only for lack of structure that, although you don't like it, cityboy, you might really need. Some long nights in Williamsburg....? Don't bet on it, though anything is possible. But at this moment, despite all the things that need to be fixed in the world, things look alive and promising.

incredible....

day at Friends yesterday, seemed like everything worked,everyone extremely nice---stayed for basketball game, did a cross word with Wiggins, looking forward to coming back on Monday. Went to see Afganistan yesterday, very tired, stayed only for the first two parts, rather long and not very dramatic---would probably have stayed but really exhausted, returned home and basically went right to sleep.
Today, Adam's play, which I first saw in a reading in 1996. See if it has changed---still trying to get in all the plays that are only around for the next two weeks, will that happen....? Will chat with Zak tomorrow to see if we can plan anything. Meanwhile body fairly tired, will probably rest until going to see the play this evening---can't wait to visit the Center Atrium and have some coffee and chocolate chip cookie sandwiches....yum yum yum.....
