free at last....

yes, coming up a day without structure---Saturday morning, no tutoring planned, can do what I like. But what is that...? This morning toyed with many ideas, play, baseball game, now it seems I just want to let the day spread out in front of me and make spontaneous choices. Love to take a walk down Ocean Parkway, but that is far away from my possible later destinations in Williamsburg and/or possibly Bushwick.
Museum of Moving Image has an Anthony Mann retrospective---have always liked his work, but don't think I will go today or tomorrow. Also would like to hear Levine conduct at least the overture from Cosi, it is being broadcast this afternoon, so might wait for that. But the looseness of the day---that is what is invigorating to me. I think just not having to be anywhere at any given time turns me on.
Yesterday, after library, simply waited around until I could leave for library on 145 street. Got very restless,
antsy in the apartment, just so much sports talk or current events talk one can listen to.
At library met Andrea; she arrived from her school with two friends, also in her class, invited them to join
the tutoring, good idea, andrea loosened up I think enjoyed the company of her friends,also did some very good work. Think that she needs a lot of repetition and drills; not being a repetition person, this is hard for me, but should make the adjustment, now that I have more insight into her learning process. This will be continuing work.
Went to have coffee, unexpectedly got into a conversation with "Chuck" an actor who was in A and C at the public this year (I did not see it). Very invigorating conversation, he was very interested in my memories of the seventies at the Public. Left feeling very "up", stimulated. Went from there to Lansdown Road, (too tired to go to Brooklyn) very loud and busy, but able to watch some baseball and see my twin friend Mel. Not a great time, but a good one, then was tired and headed home, slept fairly well.
