DeBlasio's picks for Schools Chancellor and Corporation Council---this certainly looks like a more progressive vision than we had previously.Will be very interesting to see how things turn out starting Wednesday.
Otherwise---yesterday spent the day at South Fourth and ended at Cobra---lots of free food, just what cityboy needed, but also good conversation---particularly with Mat, the city planner from Boerum Hill, who knew all the bars on fourth avenu( )good for him!) Other conversations valid as well, and football games were interesting,
Schlemowitz trilogy---
1. Shchlemoniwtts the Bohemian (east village, of course)
2. Schlemowitz moves to Brooklyn (Park Slope in the seventies)
3. Schlemowits is Rich---well of course, he sold his co-op which he just "fell into" when he moved to
Park Slope.
4. Coda: The Mayor of Ditmas Park.
Nobody remembers it--but it does chart the history of the baby boomers in one man (Schelmowitz) who wants to be a writer, falls into teaching, moves to Park Slope and becomes a career teacher, sells his co-op in the early two thousands, and sits contentedly in Ditmas Park, a wealthy and sucessful man, perhaps showing another person his age (a woman, perhaps) pictures of his youth, while she regales him with stories of her grand children. Is there a future in this for Schlemowitz?
Well, it is a beginning, so they say. where to from there...?
Tonight...Falstaff, perhaps, so far looks that way...good tutoring session with Miguel, encouraged him to come in every Saturday..maybe I can really get some work done with him, other tutorees have all had excuses to cancil, except for Kyla who I saw and will see on Saturday. Anyway, for the public school students and some Catholic School students, school returns on Thursday, so there should be some results.
We shall see....
