strange and.....

beautiful day---only one tutoring session today, exhausted from yesterday's marathon at Friends, then off to tutor at library on 145 street. Really nice new student, Andrea, needs a lot of input, seems far behind fourth grade work, but seems to have the ability to make it up. Will demand much more ingenuity on my part then "normal" tutorees.
Rest of day, not sure---possible Prince Igor, if standing room places are available, and if I feel I have the strength to stand, if not, well only about five million other options, including going to Brooklyn and finally being able to wander around. But is that what you want..cityboy. With daylight savings time coming quickly tomorrow, wonder if I see Igor and get very little sleep (it is over around 11:45) if I will be able to do anything tomorrow. Simply don't know, anyway, I have my beer book with me, so perhaps it is off to Greenpoint of Bushwick to check out one of two new places.
Cynthia Hopkins, Thursday evening, so fascinating things in her piece, a little indulgent, she covers a lot of ground that she has previously covered, yet the good moments are really stunning. Interesting how she chose Beethoven's end of life vision to end the piece. Friday morning, before work, found myself thinking about participating in one of her workshops about creating a piece based somewhat on life experiences and feelings, even though I don't think I would want to perform it more than once, (if that much, yet the idea of
putting memories and songs together with another group of people is very interesting to me). Possibly do a workshop of same in the future.
Not much else, still trying to figure out what to do next.....
