after library, off to Brooklyn, with much time, did some reading of Mountolive at Outpost, then a long walk back to Nevins Street and subway home. Stopped off at "newish" bookstore on Fulton---browsed thoroughly---so many books seemed interesting---of well, have to finish Durrell books first, and they are terrific.
Evening 1. a play called Bad Jews---much praised by critics last year, at Roundabout, hated it---really bad and vicious writing---audience of course loved it, left feeling angry, wanting to argue with someone about it.
Evening 2. After a slice of Pizza, went to Lansdowne Falls, watched baseball had a beer, bartender Cole, and CC one of the wait staff very warm and cordial to me---made me feel good, interesting that this is a bar with a large turnover, and volume, yet staff, which could be cold and overworked, is always friendly. Getting
to like the place, though price, at this point, is an issue.
This morning--Miguel canceled, but Noagh did not, and we had a good session, then helped the boy who is
staying at his house, Mustafa, the Egyptian, with his test prep. Enjoyed it, even though Mustafa does not pay me, but beginning to see tutoring as a very unselfish act of giving. But where do we go from here....?
