long day....

yesterday---full of discoveries, and frustrations----long night last night, but better now, as today's "adventure" begins.
Yesterday, visited Ditmas Park, walked around a bit, love to look at front of apartment houses in
that area--am stopped, as if I were looking at a painting. Found new coffee place opposite a school
on Newkirk Avenue, probably the school that my two cousins, Judy and Alan, attended in the early
forties. Nice energy, read a bit, place will probably be very crowded during school year, wonder what
the ethnic make up of the school is.
Afterwards, decided on Soda bar, was served at table, pretty good, then off to Museum, loaded with
people, stopped at the Heights for one pepperoni slice and then incident in the Irish bar, the less said
about that the better.
Returned home exhausted, fell asleep rather quickly, today helped Arlene unload her car, felt useful,
now the rest of the day begins.....
