finally a day.....

off, the first in six days. Lots of tutoring in addition to the subbing---some great experiences at Friends, but generally, after a full day yesterday and three students, I am extremely fatigued.
Now I have to prepare for tomorrow's storm, which is supposed to be intense. What does that mean for me? Isolation? Will I be able to get to Lincoln Center and check out some of the options there (seems like the best place, as plenty of places to stay warm between theater, opera events and movies.
Anything else--still have James Ellroy's Perfidia to read---that should keep me busy, also the Met is having a broadcast of Tanhauser from last fall; this is a production that I wished to see but did not. At library now, will try to pick up another book that might also keep me occupied. Hope the storm is over by Sunday, so I can go out to South Fourth and immerse myself in football. Two good games, should be interesting. Anyway, that is the plan. Not sure about tonight, could go out to Brooklyn to see many things, but not clear how tired I will be. A part of me wants to just sit in a movie theater and watch a movie--that is all! But there are some plays I might check out---again, will depend on how strong I feel.
Amazingly enough, I don't think I can remember a time that I have worked harder, than I have in the past two weeks. Almost like a machine, moving from place to place. Where do we go from here? Not sure.
Got a chance to see Frank's play again last Sunday, really good, less good was Rachel's english project at the Invisible Dog---seemed mired in British specific culture--kind of too easy for a "liberal" to accept. Day after I tutored in north Bronx, got off at West Farms Square, took bus to Concourse, a remarkable ride up 177th street---a very poor and all black and Hispanic area of the Bronx. Really glad I did this---invigorated by looking at those streets, which of course, when I was growing up, were mostly white. Memories don't fade, should be a way of getting together with others who grew up in that area to share memories. Oh well, just one idea, should take some other Bronx excursions in the days to come.
This may be my last post before the blizzard, will report at some point on how it worked out,,,,
