here I am....

Sunday early afternoon, back in the Bronx, at the Bronx Central Library. Glad it is there, have fond memories of the earlier one, about two blocks down---went there a lot as a Bronx Science student, also afterwards. Library is filled, nice to see so many minority people taking advantage of it being opened on a Sunday. From Gun Hill Road, took a bus down Webster Avenue to Fordham. Looked again at all the art deco houses that line the side streets between Bedford Park and Fordham. Very nostalgic, I am back in the fifties in an all white jewish neighborhood and it is the fifties. Can see it all so clearly.Good to take a trip like this, hope for more such adventures. Will return to Manhattan at some point and prepare for trip to Brooklyn and Jack tonight. Should be fun, doubt that I will be too tired to do it.
      Yesterday thought that Bushwick Starr trip to see the Banana Bag and Bodice show was possible, but it turned out, I was too tired. Discovered this around 5---still, had to get out, opted instead for the easiest choice---a movie at the Bunin at Lincoln Center. Good choice, saw In the Shadow of Women, a very focused study of a man and a woman whose marriage is coming apart, as each participates in an affair outside the marriage. Great camera angles focusing on all of this; for most of the movie I felt completely involved. Also sex scenes in the bedroom were more suggested then performed. The look on each charater's face after making love was much more effective. Just grabbed a slice of pizza after that, too tired to hit a bar on the upper west side. Went to sleep early, but did not really sleep effectively, by about 4 I was up, maybe a little sleep after that until 7. Still, got a decent amount of sleep---feeling strong physically, should have no trouble going to Brooklyn this evening, or performing the "marathon" day that I have at Friends, tomorrow..
  That should be all for now, will continue reporting as the week continues....
