Saturday morning...

after another busy day at Friends, three kindergarden classes in a row, in Spanish! Had to use a lot of ingenuity to get through it---but did. Also the eight weeks of Spanish instruction I took at Easy Espangno, really helped; made me feel very strong when showing the kids the articles, el and la, masculine and feminine, that came with the nouns they were asked to identify.
Came home and had really very little in the tank left, woke up today feeling very rested.
Tonight, will try to go to Rough Trade, to see Andrew's band play for an hour---nice to get to Williamsburg
again---(Andrew is one of the baristas at Cobra, one of my "hang out" places in Brooklyn)
Tomorrow, have a session in Brooklyn in the morning, then probably head back to South Fourth to spend the rest of the day watching football. One of the students at Friends, who is studying theater, wanted to see
a "downtown" play with me this weekend, but we lost touch during the week. He e-mailed me today that he is available to go tomorrow, but quite frankly, I am just too exhausted---will try to see something with him next week, if possible.
Am reading an interesting autobiography by a woman who was the daughter of the man who curated many artists at MOMA and at Berkeley---Peter Seitz---not great but interesting enough. An interesting choice, choosing to read about a man who was a compulusive womanizer. Will try to pick something up at the libraries I visit today, still not ready for something :"heavy"----but don't want to get too escapist either.
Finally feel that I am getting ahead financially---a good feeling---
Have only seen one "theater festival" event in these last two weeks (that was Roosevelvis, by my friends at the TEAM, can't get out much at night, or maybe I feel that they are becoming too predictable---not clear what it all means, streak at Friends is really good, hope to continue it.....
