beautiful morning.....

something very full and fall like in the air, really a nice optimism in place as I wait to find out if I have one student for today in the Harlem library. Interesting, how, if I had the whole day free, I could see a matinee of one of the many plays that interest me, but it is so beautiful out, it seems like sacrilege to spend any part of the afternoon inside.Need to move around, hopefully can visit some part of Brooklyn (have a yen for Ditmas Park, but don't know if I can make that happen) before the evening. Then I will try to see That Poor Dream, want to touch base with my friend at Assembly. Also, body feels freer than in the last couple of days, a pall that was hanging over it (maybe it was just fatigue) seems to have vanished. We will see how long that keeps up.
Yesterday, tired but did the day, then off to Bushwick to see Ghost Quartet, very glad that I did, enjoyed it, then afterwards, though not terribly hungry went to the beer place on Starr, joined there by many others who had seen the show, and some who were in it.Before most arrived had a nice talk with a teacher of special ed named Tony, who lives in the neighborhood and has a special ed class at a school deeper into Bushwick. Only three kids and a para; apparently it is an autistic class. After he left for an art celebration down the block, cast arrived, had a nice talk with Britton, one of the two immensely talented women in the cast, who was also in Natasha and Pierre which I really loved. She moved on and I chatted a bit with Noel (would love to know if anything is changed because of the Times interest) and watched the end of the third game of the world series. Appetite came back on the subway, but waited until returning home to get some food.
Of course evening would have been impossible if I had subbed at Friends, but still reluctant to admit that time in the evening can mostly happen on nights when I don't work there, No work yet for the week anyway, but we will see. Still, can't wait to return, hope that will happen soon.
Still waiting for the phone call, then off to Harlem, and then....
