only one session beginning at 12. Kind of happy about that, could definitely use the time----not much sports until 4 when the Yankees Mets game begins. Several of my fifth and sixth grade students not coming in today because of the three days of the math test---they need to relax. So just one first grade student, the irripressable Jonathan.
Yesterday, after library, returned home to rest, then went to Richard's concert---without saying, he was terrific---as he played Gollywog's Cakewalk I could really see the scene in our fifth-sixth grade class in what must have been Spring 1954, with him playing it in this small anti room. I think he still has the same feelings about it that he had then. Had a nice talk with the woman sitting next to me, a retiree named Louise, who lives in the Carnegie Hall neighborhood. Left quickly, was pretty tired, did not want to hang out, looked into a nearbye bar to see that Yankees had won handily, and went home by subway (cold!!!) Short conversation with a guy on the subway who saw me carrying Michael Stewart's Liar's Poker---sometimes I think that everyone wants to talk to me. Played with the idea of going to one of the sports bars to hang out and watch late games, but decided it was best and most economic to grab some chicken at West Side Market and head home.
Today, when I leave the library, possibly go into bar next to Harlem Public, love their hot dogs---maybe the Bronx Museum to look at photos in their exhibit---that sounds really interesting, don't know if this is the right day for it. Tonight, am planning to see Don Carlo at the Met, no tickets yet, will get them close to performance time---a long opera, but really feel that this is the right day to see it. Tomorrow, possibly two plays (I thought we were thinking economically, cityboy) and maybe South Fourth for the night baseball game. Should be an interesting 48 hours....
