so why.....

is it so difficult to accept a sub job from a public school. Today you received atleast two calls from schools that are probably very good and not hard to work in. Nevertheless, City boy, you rejected them. Is it because Friends has gotten you so accustomed to it (yes, you miss it these two weeks) that you don't want to start another "relationship"? Do you want the time to yourself? Today, visited with Jimmy at South Fourth, had fun, relaxed read the paper, feel wanted there, all well and good, but.....perhaps I want to see the movie at New Directors tonight, and then go to......where...feeling healthy and strong, perhaps out to Brooklyn. Tomorrow, face another dilemma, if I sub, will I have enough strength to tutor Deyra (if she appears) and Neal (if he needs the work) and then go to South fourth to play Trivia, which I really want to do. Like the friendship there, anyway, these are the "problems" that I face---seems like it is time to return to Manhattan, although the prospect of wandering East to bushwick is fascinating, but not enough time. Later....

Here we are after....

most of the month has passed. Some very good subbing at Friends. Still fighting subbing during the school's vacation in the "real" world. Why? Do I miss not having a real person at the other end of the phone? Other than that, this has been a productive week---several interesting books, a little ahead on the money thing, some good encounters with people, enjoy playing Trivia at South Fourth, not sure what the weekend will bring. It is still cold, which inhibits moving around as much as I would like---but lots of tutoring, which is a good thing. Will try to post a little more often in the next few weeks, that is what having a blog is for, right....?

It's been a...

long time, city boy. Why? Probably because in all the work you have had at Friends, the action is all. So, what do we want to write about today...? Read about fracking, enviromental pressure from politicians, then go to Yelp, to find out about a bar.....does that not make me as guilty as anyone else. Do we live in a dividied nation, or is life simply about "enjoying oneself". Certainly it is easy enough to do that in this city. Today, probably read or listen to music until around 4:30, then go off to Xavier to see the boys play basketball. After that.....? Hard to say exactly how I want to fulfill myself. But it is cold, so not a lot of possibility to move around the city. All for that, leave it be......
