"cops out". Volunteered at Gerristen Beach on Monday---no bathroom, other than that, not a lot of work, people seemed to be at the holidays, three "shacks" where food, toiletries and other essentials were given out for free. Any one could get what was there. The Gerrtisen Beach people were friendly and responsive, told them I would be back today, nevertheless could not go, even though I planned for it. Why? It's awfully cold, felt that if the rain came it might be impossible to get a bus back, also simply am ambivalent about returning. This has to play out, I will try to go tomorrow or Friday---not sure how much help is needed, somewhat dissappointed in myself for not going, nevertheless feel that it is the safest thing for me to do.
Yesterday, did not want to see a movie, therefore, took the B 49 bus from Fulton and Franklin to Kings Highway and Ocean, fascinating trip, Ocean Avenue full of apartment houses, are these the houses where my contemporaries were brought up, now seems a little west Indian, to the north, but also Russian and Orthodox Jewish as one approaches the southern end of Ocean Avenue.
Idea for a short story, begins in 1964, when a friend of mine falls in love with a girl from the Bronx, but she is not available to him, because she is in love with one of the freedom summer guys. Where do I go from there, want to bring it to the present.....can I...
Trying not to see a movie today, will read and (I guess) think about things, will see the play in the evening....assuming weather is possible.......
