things are looking....

up, got an e-mail from Kristen, asking me to sub on 10/2; that means two days in that week, really good.
Also got a call yesterday from a mother of a prospective student---will meet then in library at 4 today, looks like another student to add to the list. Still, at this point, feeling very restless---why...? Not sure. Yesterday, met former student Daniel, just graduated from Yale, at Chipped Cup, had a good conversation with him.
Came home and rested, then off to first fringe encore show, the "fatty" play, a bit disappointing. After that not sure where to go. Walked around the south village, MacDougal, Thompson, and of course Sullivan street, looking for a bar or a pizza place. On Sullivan, walked over to where the old Sullivan Street Playhouse was, (or where I thought it was) and "tried to remember" seeing the Fantasticks there. After nostalgic visit, found a pizza place on Bleecker, then next to it a bar named Concord, loud but mellow, where I could watch the end of the Yankee game. Not a lot happening, bartender nice, had an interesting talk with a guy who came in after me and sat down at the bar near me. A very light skinned hispanic guy named Jose Luis, spry and alive who must be 79 now. We compared notes about NYC in the fifties and sixties, he had to leave for a jazz concert at Poisson Rouge, but invited me to join him at Smoke, which is near where I live, on Mondays, when he goes there for jazz. Might do that one of these days, left and returned home, bumped into Marshall, owner of South Fourth at his other Bar, Formerly Crows, but did not go in.
And now, here i am, still restless, probably will be until the meeting at 4.
