Summation:

Saturday, Clare canceled meeting, giving me a little more time to relax before heading out to Bushwick for Cynthia's performance, still got there early (of course) and had to wander around in the cold before getting to the Starr. Cindy's piece was interesting, not as fully realized as her Saint Ann's pieces were, also almost a play with the way her husband Jeff is included. Some moments about taking care of one's partner that I found very moving, made me want to "take care" of somone; think I will try to see it again, particularly if it is extended for a week, still will I have the time..? So many things happening, one simply replaces the other.
Afterwards, went to Heavy Woods, got a sprite and watched baseball on their enormous but very effective screen. Like the place, waited for some others who had seen the play to show, but they didn't. Nevertheless, the vibe was fun, might want to watch other stuff there at some point.
Sunday, a day of travel, visited Liz Y at her studio at the Navy Yard, stayed a while, still marvel at her ability to put colors and jagged edges together, left and began my long trek down Flushing Avenue, finally stopped at Flushing and (I think) Washington, a new coffee place there, looked inviting but since I was going to Bushwick to have coffee anyway, could not stop in. Bus took forever to come, then an interesting ride up Flushing Avenue (the very northern edge of Bed-Stuy, very hasidic) and off at Wycoff to watch football and have coffee at Cobra.
Remained there for about an hour, read a few Times pieces then decided to move on, probably to South fourth. Got the DeKalb bus, took it to Broadway, would have liked to walk a bit more, but it was cold, and I was underdressed, so got on J to Marcy Ave stop. Remained at South fourth for about three hours, the usual good cheer, watched the Mets on their way to their second win, had a nice conversation with Lisa, who lives in Sheepshead Bay and has four dogs. (She had one of them with her, a very friendly one.) Had to leave around 9, although Lisa would have enjoyed continuing the conversation---could have remained there with her and a few others, but left...why...? That was it for Sunday.
Monday, got a surprise phone call from Kate, asking me to replace Chris for the day at Friends. First actual teaching sub in a while, will have two next  week, so did that, enjoyed it, worked with two 10th grade groups on  groups on Beyawolf; then to the library for my scheduled three hour turn.
There, had some discipline problems, thing I handled them well, maybe some follow up. returned home absolutely exhausted, but decided to go to Half Straddle benefit at Joe's Pub---did so, not much contact, will discuss more at another time (maybe).
Time to return to the real world, Some lessons today and a BAN meeting, will see how it all turns out.
