physically exhausted....

after yesterday, in which I had a full schedule at Friends and then a lesson with Genesis. Mentally exhausted after hearing about the Grand Jury's refusal to indict the police officer, listening to the Lehrer show (annoyed by the bombasticity of the two guests, and then going on Facebook. What can be done...? Something important is to encourage my friends who are posting to get together as a group to discuss there role in this as citizens and people in NYC. There is a certain horror at understanding that the "benign" world that you are living in, giving one a decent sense of privilege, as being mirrored by a horrible world in the same city. So I have said my peace but do hope to encourage some of my friends to start discussion groups re our part in this.
Not much else to report, will probably not see Susan-Lori Parks' play this week, seems very crowded, will try probably on Saturday anyway, also will try to see Frank's movie, and the play at Ars Nova---MTC.
Tonight, if I am rested, will go to South Fourth party---not a great deal to celebrate I am afraid, but still will go, because the place has meant so much to me over the last seven years. Don't forget to bring Beer Book...
