pain and confusion over the death of the two innocent policemen on Saturday in Bed-Stuy. I am as frustrated as anyone else. of course, protests should continue, but people should try to look at both sides rationally. The two may have been great cops, the kind of cops we want all cops to be. Certainly officer Ramos seems like a very sensitive man. We will see how this develops, just puts an added seriousness to this season, quite frankly I don't think anything is wrong with that.
Rest of weekend interesting---really good time at Assembly at Friends, then lots of conversations with alum and regular students---had a nice talk with Claire about participating in day of discussion, more to follow after the vacation. Left Friends feeling very strong about my identity there.
Saturday, did go to Bushwick (very untouched by events in bed-stuy, not that far away. Saw the "Philidelphia" event at Starr, warm, fuzzy a bit voyeuristic---enjoyed first act, felt too tired to stay for second (also did not want to hear another monologue about a person's "life". Short time in beer bar, not much happening, returned home, tired. Yesterday a good day, spoke to David in morning, then left for South Fourth, spent much of day there, good conversation with Sharon and Harlo, Merlin will be bartending xmas even, so will probably drop by---on the way home met former student Ama T between trains, nice conversation with her---first time seeing her since she graduated---then returned home, today will see play at Atlantic, say hi to Ben, hope to spend more time with him at some point, that is all, things are different but can't quite articulate how.....
