not a lot....

to say re the last two days. Thursday, had my sessions, became very tired, probably from staying up the night before at Jen's party, and returned home. Almost immediately fell asleep, awoke to hear radio saying that Harvey, the pitcher for the Mets, had just given up seven runs. Strange that I would awake at just that minute. In and out of sleep for rest of the night---got up and walked around the block around 12---bought some juice that I thought I needed. Friday morning, time to go to work at Friends, felt refreshed and got through the day nicely. Again the "crash" hit me when I left Friends; however I was determined not to simply go back to the apartment and fall asleep, found out that the Walter Reade theater was showing a Magnani retrospective, and Rose Tattoo, a movie based on a play by Williams that I know well, was showing at 4. Went to see it, found it likeable but predictable---actually left before it was over--Burt Lancaster really strutted his stuff as Magnani's unlikely new boyfriend, Script a bit overwritten.
  The rest was just a return home---and again in and out of sleep. Here I am at library preparing for my sessions, had a dream last night, I was listening to the radio; it was an opera, La Forza Del Destino. It was the performance in which Richard Tucker had a heart attack and died on stage. Could hear the tumult as he fell. Dream is strange, because actually this did not happen to Tucker but to Leonard Warren in March of 60---Tucker was on the stage with him but did not die until 75. Why did I place Tucker in the dream and not Warren?  What did the dream mean, can't find anything really relevant to my life, maybe should look further.
  Tonight, will probably take advantage of my friend Robin's offer to use her ticket to the Signature Plays at their space--sorry that she could not go, and tomorrow will check out Half Moon Bay, a play that my friend Jess has directed. May also stop by Lansdowne Road after the play tonight to watch some baseball.
  That is all for now, will report later.
