How do you...

write a blog when you are really happy? That is the problem that I find myself facing right now. Feel very much centered with my life. How did it happen? Well yesterday, did go to Jen's dinner outing at Saigon Market  (really good food, must check it out another time)  had some good conversation, then off to Friends for the concert, split between the chorus and the chamber orchestra, some really good things (a terrific performance of the second movement of a Haydn trio, for instance) and when that finished, caught my breath and headed for the continuation of Jen's party at DSL, a dance-bar on Delancey off Ludlow.
    Second floor, couples dancing, mostly younger, a few older men also part of the group. Jen very nicely took me in, she was my first dance partner---after that, danced a few times with Jen's friend Emily--had a nice time. Did not ask any of the other women---those I did not know there-to dance with me. Some dancers really skillful, knew all the moves; at this point, I would be "clunky" competing with them. Dance partners, mostly male and female couples, seemed to understand the rules. I think an unstated rule there is no matter what happens during the dance, there is an agreement not to ask for phone numbers or see the place as a dating set up place. At least that is my perception of it. Still, if Jen were to return, I would go back with her---meaningful to expose myself to these kind of events. The four of us: myself, Jen and her two friends both named Emily took the subway home. One of the "Emily" women is an English teacher, she is going to England for the summer to study American and British lit; we had a nice talk about that on the way home. Arrived back at the apartment feeling tired but fulfilled.
   Just got an assignment at Friends for early June, will be also there tomorrow, at least for the morning--a little disappointed that have not been called for the past three days, but then again, not working means that my evening energy is much stronger. Some of those programs, especially the middle school ones, are back breaking---can't do much after taking them but go home and rest. This way I have "freedom" to be in the evenings.
 Lots of interesting movies, and of course, innumerable plays out there to see, their number will only be increased next week with the inclusion of The Taming of the Shrew in Central Park and  clubbed thumb's first event; it seems every theater person I know is involved with something in the next two or three weeks, plus the ban projects...oh well, let's just try to go from moment to moment.
That is all for now, will try to report soon...
