did not see TONYS last night...

too tired, and really did not want to. Let's review the rest of the weekend.
Saturday---afternoon tired, still not sure of what to do in the evening---better a movie than a play, but which movie. Finally decided to venture to IFC--and try to see Almost Sunrise, part of the Human Rights film festival---went to IFC box office, had no trouble purchasing a ticket---with about an hour to kill, headed to Formerly Crows to watch Yankee game--again bar people very nice, watched for about 45 minutes, then returned to IFC and joined line to enter movie.
      the movie was quite an experience---very intense with both stills and live photos from Iraq war, the film tells of the trip made by two Iraq war veterans from Milwaukee to LA to air out and try to cleanse issues of rejoining the real world from Iraq. Much sympathy for these two, very articulate, the documentary film makers followed them for about 4 years. The re-entry system for Iraq war vets is very limited, one of the returnees Tom, now goes about the country letting veterans know that there are intense groups for them to work through their rage and pain. Film very gripping. Really important to understand what they experienced both in Iraq and afterwards. Ending very heartening, then the discussion with the film makers and the two veterans, which also was very moving.
  Sunday, just wanted to let things happen---went to Standings at 1 and watched baseball for about two hours, only the owner Gary was there, but we had some good talks about the season and the teams. Watched mostly Yankee and Met games, (and a little of the Orioles-Blue Jays game). Both games were very similar, New York teams faced a superior pitcher and their offense was stymied. Stayed until a little after 3, left because I was hungry, really could have ordered some food and stayed, but just decided not to. Moved east, then south and first avenue, ran into Ewan and Willa from Friends, spoke to them briefly, looking forward to the graduation tonight for both of them and the rest of the class of 2016. Then to Two Boots for me pizza slice and then to South Fourth to hang out. NOt too many people there that I knew, stayed a shorter time then expected--left at around 6:15 and thought about checking out one or two plays that I could get to, but really felt a little too tired to "sit fully" at a play---movie would be better. Decided to see Genius at Sunshine---terrible mistake it is truly an awful movie. Poorly written, no character development; I left before it was over. At least I killed an hour and a half---tired, returned home via F to D to 1. Slept well, which surprised me.
  Tonight, as I have previously mentioned, is the graduation at Friends. Should be a lot of fun, if it is anything like the party last week. Looking forward to saying good bye to many in this group, and wishing them the best. Wonder what alumni will also be there (usually the ones who graduated the year before turn up the first year)
  Strange day today---no commitments until I leave for the graduation, about a quarter to 5. Will probably read a lot after stay at computer. This is the beginning of my summer---a whole new set of feelings arising in me. What will happen? We will see
