good day...

at the Fringe, yesterday, accomplished the five shows with no major problems. Other staff is very good to work with. Woke up this morning, body feeling kind of "crunched" (I guess that is the best word to describe it) took a little time for me to get it into gear, ate sandwich early to build energy. Just had some ice cream across the street from the 64 East 4 street main stage, after bringing in first performance---now at library. All should go well for the rest of the day (hopefully not too many long breaks); now have to find charger, which I was supposed to return to Fringe Central---did not realize it, now no one is sure where it is. How to work it out...? We will see.
Interesting article in Gothamist about problems that Farina administration at the Department of Education inherited from the past administration, and how they are not really trying to solve them.
Too bad, expected more from the current mayor. Then switched to article in Nation in which the writer contrasts his experience watching the Nets with his experiences as a young man living in a "SKeevy" area very close to where the Barclay Center is now. Found it very "intellectual" kind of self serving---really did not read the whole thing. I don't like it when a wrtier discusses changes in Brooklyn in the last twelve years, without commenting on the amount of wealth (and dislocation) that has poured into it. So now he lives in New Jersey...so what?
Not much else to report, most of the time have been too tired to do much after Fringe is finished, though mind is hungry, body is kind of tired, just get home and wait for the next morning. Did go into Standings yesterday during the break between the fourth and fifth show and watched baseball with a beer for a while. Day before visited the bar right near the theater and had a surprisingly good mac and cheese plate. But mostly events, plans etc, are on hold until the Fringe ends, a week from Sunday.
So it continues...hope will not be too censured for not finding charger---or maybe by now it has been found...
