day, as offer to sub for Spanish on Thursday came through. So was at Friends on that day and on Friday, when I subbed for Josh in the English department. Got a chance to see Malcolm X, the Spike Lee movie, which I had never seen before. Pretty interesting. Students seemed to like it. Returned home and rested a bit then returned to Friends for Dance Concert, always have enjoyed it; many students whom I know are in it. Following that, headed to Standings, where I grabbed what was left of the Pizza, and stayed for a while, had a good time, nice discussion of the two playoff basketball games that were showing with another patron. Saw the first quarter of the Spurs- Oklahoma City game---both teams were on fire, left soon after, because I was very tired.
Yesterday, tired after three sessions, returned home, hoped to go to short opera concert at Anthology Film Archives, but simply did not have the energy, still, felt I should go to La Flaca to say hi to owner Bobby, a good friend for over 15 years. Arrived there, only to find out that he had left, but stayed, watched Mets-Padres game, for quite a while, had a nice mean and then left. Walked from Grand and Clinton north to Orchard and Houston. Passed what seemed to be a million bars and restaurants, most of them pretty filled, hundreds of people lining the streets---where do they all come from? Could have had a beer at one of those places but instead chose the Bean and had a delicious (and over filling) chocolate mousse dish. Left a little bloated, returned home by subway.
Today is a day of rest, happy to be in Brooklyn, nice day to walk around, will I walk south from here into Lefferts-Prospect, and how will I end up in Willaimsburg? (In other words, what travel plans to I have to get there). All will be revealed soon, as I prepare for another week with at least three days at Friends.
