the days get....

prettier and prettier. Cityboy's life becomes more complicated and complicated. Received summons to appear at Federal Court for Jury Duty last Saturday---NO NOTICE! Ofcourse it was freak out time.
But today, after all the anxiety, went down and was told that because of my age, it was unnecessary for
me to be there. A lot of Much Ado About Nothing. Still no word from Friends, yet in spite of that feeling very up beat as I sit here working at the library's computer.
Saturday afternoon, in the midst of my gloom, went to South Bronx to visit Mark kamber at Bronx Documentary Project, a very nice guy, nice space, had a good conversation with him; found out that his cousin.Rick is a classmate of mine from Hopkins. I am fascinated by white people, presumably with middle class backgrounds, who decide to live in almost all black and hispanic communities.. Had a long talk with him about that; he also mentioned a close friend around age 50 or so, who has lived down the block from the project all his life. An Irish guy, who has remained very involved in helping the community. Amazing!
Afterwards, took Morris Avenue bus up to Jerome and 175 street, had a much needed Dunkin Donuts coffee and old fashioned donut fix, wandered around a bit and took the 4 to 149th street. Returned home to find in the mail the above mentioned "fraudulent" summons. 
Again the two feelings; incredibly upbeat about the moment, but wondering what will be at Friends. Perhaps the situation will resolve itself, Cityboy really hopes so....
