another tired morning--have some lessons this afternoon, will try to be at my best for them.
Yesterday, long day, did an interview for the Friends newspaper---will be published later in the year.
Richard Payne, whom I have known for several years (he is now in the tenth grade) interviewed me. I was pleased with the questions, tried to be specific about my feelings re not being part of the Freedom Summer of 64. It will be interesting to see what the reaction is. Was able to tutor adequately after long day at Friends---don't remember ever being this busy--very little time for my theater "hobby". Looking forward to the "long" weekend that comes up in a week.
Good article on Bernie Sanders and his followers in this month's Independant---presents a good argument against voter passivity, but it is an issue. Is this the moment when we are really re-defining what "freedom" means. In the city, the Mayor tries to push through his "affordable" housing plans, which all the community boards have rejected. See how the City Council reacts to it. Problems here on the upper west side are mainly cost of living problems---goods, services, food costs have really gone up--still easy to shunt these things aside if you are bringing in money.
Not much else to discuss----weekend is pretty set, hope I can get to Bushwick Starr for Longyarn.
Tomorrow is only chance. Can't go Saturday since I have Kayla's party---can you see me moving from Bushwick to Prospect Heights at 9:30 Saturday evening---pretty hard, even for me. So I will try to get in as much as I can.
Next report Saturday---will continue...
