Have just.....

cleaned a lot of garbage from my apartment in anticipation of Saturday's spraying (which I may try to put off)
This stuff has been there for a long time, in some cases since my mother's death (April 1988); I have just let it sit, some of it unopened, this morning took the bull by the horns and cleaned most of it out, some actual artifacts from my past, including a batch of letters that I wrote home my first year in college, read a few, pretty straightforward; interesting how much I was willing to share with my parents at that time, much less as college days morphed into adult hood. One letter was about the possibility of a friend's daughter coming down from New Rochelle (she was a senior in High School) to be my date for the big  college dance. She ultimately did not-(her letter saying she couldn't was delivered poorly; I remember going to dorm post office day after day and seeing no letter there---pretty sad)  At any rate, only read two, then threw the rest away, did discover some baby pictures of myself and my brother David in the packages,which (since 1988) have remained unopened. Will keep them for a while, but more excavation (now a little easier for me) to follow.
Also, amazingly enough discovered about 5 Theater Arts Magazines in good condition from the fifties. Will look at them later, might be able to sell them, we will see.
    Will be at Friends tomorrow, also two next week, at this moment feeling pretty mellow. Nice to have an expanse of time in front of me. Plans for weekend pretty firmed up; not sure about tonight or tomorrow, might just stay home and organize, but might want to go out for a while.
  Last night, first visit to La Flaca in a while, not much was going on, watched baseball game for about on hour, then returned home. First night on new mattress was good; think that I will really like it, that is all for now, will report next time,,,
