Friday morning....

last day of Friends, did not get called to work, but will go to the holiday assembly around 2. A cold chill this morning; finally, some kind of winter weather is in the air, but it is supposed to be warm again next week. Spent the morning before coming to the library thinking about the many students I am now tutoring----should be a busy Christmas vacation.
Yesterday, not much, pretty tired, continued reading Anne Roiphe's novel, which I am almost finished with---still basically enjoying it---returned home, Sheila then came over and cleaned the apartment, reminded me that she has been doing this for 30 years now (that's amazing, but true) as she asked for a little more money. Did give her a $5.00 bonus this time. Maybe I should add the five to the fee, will see, feeling kind of open to giving, so might happen. Returned home to cleaned apartment, tired but really did not want to bring food in and hang out at the apartment, instead went to Greek Diner on 95th and Broadway, the best of the few diners left between 72nd street and 96th street. Like the place because it always seems filled with people, all from different class (and race) stratas. Had the usual, blt, and coffee. Nice night, still needed some sugar, toyed with the idea of going to coffee place across the street from the Thalia, but decided not to. Missed a bus around nine, then waited on 97th and Broadway for the next 104, it took twenty minutes! Amazing, they used to come almost once every three minutes, how things have changed. But the night was very mild, so it was no problem to wait. Returned home and fell asleep soon afterwards.
Today, what will happen after the assembly? What grads will return...? Whom will I see...?  and what happens after that. Tonight, a few choices, all (thank god) in Brooklyn. There is the play at the Brick presented by New Georges, am familiar with the work of many of the actors, but don't any of them personally, still friends of mine who do know them might be there---also there is a benefit party at
Mayday Space in Bushwick, will possibly head there after the play, which should run about a little over an hour. Will I have enough energy for both...? We will see.
Tomorrow evening should head to the Bushwick Starr for Flako's piece. More info tomorrow...
