so Friday....

after tutoring returned home, fairly tired, yet ended up seeing Rengane at New Directors, New Films, pretty intense paris-arab take on Romeo and Juliet---rage of brother, seeking to stop two people from getting together, pretty palpable. Saturday, tutoring and play; Sunday, took the 13 bus on a long trip from 145th and Broadway, through 149 street bronx corridor, down Southern Boulevard to Chritina who I tutor in eighth grade math. Long and arduous trip, but wait! bronx memories as the bus goes down Southern Boulevard, remember how many of your dad's students in the forties and fifties lived along that corridor. How many stories you heard about them and that area. We lived on the other side of the zoo. The safe side, the side that did not change in the fifties or sixties. Still wonder what it was like to experience the influx of black and puerto rican families at that time. Bronx is very quiet on Sunday morning, many people on the bus carrying palms, for Palm Sunday.Some families. Today, tutoring a little later on 145 street and then Passover at
Stan and Kayla's. Nice to see the family again.....
