Vacation day 2...

Got new phone today, with the usual tsimmis that goes with it---still do not know how to send a text or to change my greetings.
Sad news yesterday about friend Wade---a genuinely nice guy whom I spent several hours in the early 2000's chatting with while he bartended at Cosi---did he have to do it? Met him on the subway about seven months ago---early spring, he seemed very settled, never went into his place of work---wish I could have spent more time with him---absloutely no idea that anything was wrong. Not much else to say, he was part of a group that I knew in the early 2000's.
Ended yesterday at the Sports bar, Standings, Aaron was very nice to me---its a good place for pure sports, not great for conversation, thought that I would go to Cobra this morning, but here I am still in Manhattan---not sure about the rest of the day---should go to Brooklyn, but it is cold, movie...? possibly, though after last night Silver Lining Playbooks, I am not so sure---told Bob I might come in today, that would be for early evening---I guess, then could go to Pine Box, but that means going from the J to the L.
Anyway, will decide as the day progresses---cd player worked beautifully this morning---listened carefully to Beethoven's Sonata for Piano no 4, opus 7, an amazing work with an incredible second movement---thought about trying to see Messiah at Philharmonic tonight, but probably won't---could spend much of the vacation simply listening to Beethoven's chamber music...let it happen....
