just went to....

stub hub site for the first time--yes, I know I am far behind---tickets to Yankees and Mets game at reduced prices---very accessible (or so it seems). Good thing I don't have access to stubhub at home, or I might become addicted to it---can see how that would be very easy. I will probably return to it at least one more time in my session, but hopefully will not get too carried away,
    Yesterday, after library---walked down Vanderbuilt to Fulton, then left on Fulton to BAM. No tickets available for the movie that I wished to see. Toyed with the idea of seeing another movie that was earlier at the new film festival---this was a documentary by Werner Herzog about the internet, among other things. Sounded very interesting and this director is incredible perceptive---nevertheless passed on it---did not feel like spending $16.00 on it. Instead went to the coffee place (I go there a lot when I am in the neighborhood) on Fulton that is across the street from the Greenlight Book Store. Had an ice coffee and read for a while---killed some time---figured that I could hang out at South fourth until either it was time to go to La Flaca to watch the game, or stay at South fourth for the game. Decided not to go straight there---instead walked down to Myrtle Avenue, then took the bus going east---hoped to check out all the new bars on that now line the Clinton Hill-Bed-Stuy part of that block but a detour prevented that---nevertheless the trip was interesting--most of that avenue, once you hit pure Bed-Stuy is NYCHA projects---interesting that a few new luxury high rises have been built right across the street from them---but again, that is NYC at this time. Got off by the J train stop at Myrtle, decided to walk a few blocks southeast on Broadway and look at the intersection of the streets that cross Broadway with the streets that begin on Broadway. So covered from Lewis to Malcolm X Boulevard to Patchen Avenue (north south streets) while crossing DeKalb, Lafayette, Willoughby,Vernon, Hart (somewhere in there) Kosciosko and finally, (I think) Pulaski. Again, fascinated by the way those streets intersect, stood outside a new building on Willoughby and Broadway that just seems to have been built, watched a dog walker enter into the building---who would live there...? What are the prices...?  Finally, feeling a bit fatigued, climbed the J train stairs at Lafayette  and took the J to Marcy. Got to South Fourth around 6.
    And am very glad that I did, bartender Olivia gave me a very warm greeting, poored me a sprite, and since I was not hungry, it seemed to me the best bet was to remain at South Fourth for the game.
That is what happened, read a little, had a nice chat with my friend Harlo, she might find me a place to stay on my trip to Boston, which I think is happening in two weeks, and settled in to watch the game. Had a nice conversation with one or two guys sitting near me---they were also watching the game---funny, how easy it is to converse on sports with someone you don't know, and something nice and spontaneous happens. Game was a mess---Cleveland won, but not by much---an awful lot of turnovers---both teams were in the game until the very end---wondered as I was watching it, was  I really watching the "great" Warrior team that during the season, everyone talked about. No matter, it was a great way to spend the evening, when push comes to shove, South Fourth seems like the place to be. Returned home feeling very "up".
  Woke up this morning, full of energy---as my sessions decrease, may have to have a whole new strategy for structuring my day. Today will go and ses Sybil's piece at the Whitney, my first visit there, should leave the apartment around 5---what happens in between now and then, or once I finish on this computer---not sure.
