a free day today, until BAN meeting at 6:30 (finally I will be early). Nice day to take it easy, have been running around a great deal in the past few days, maybe I welcome the passiveness of the day. Just bought NY Review of Books, good to read over the long (and not too structured) weekend. I could see Yankee Ranger game today for $5.00, but not really what I want to do. Wish that there was a true coffee shop in the neighborhood that I live in (upper west side) where I could lose myself in a book, but none of them feel right for that. Might go up to 145street just for the granola-yogurt parfait that I like so much there, and there I can read as long as I wish.
Yesterday evening, went to Dixon Place to see a play that my friend Lucy was in. Turned out to be a very good experience---saw some other friends there, and found the play quite inventive. This is a playwright to be watched! Great performances by the two young actors in the leads. (Lucy was good also). Had an interesting conversation with the uncle and mother of the playwright---this is the kind of gathering that makes "downtown theater" going very meaningful. Came away feeling good.
After that went to La Flaca for some wings (which I had because they were the cheapest thing on the menu). It was pretty quiet there, no one there that I knew, so I ate, watched the end of the two New York ball games and went home. Fell asleep very quickly.
Long weekend will soon begin. Tomorrow I see War at Lincoln Center---aside from that not sure what else I will witness. A good time to go to South Fourth to hang out or to try some other bar-restaurants---but there is plenty of theater for me to check out as well. No sessions since library is closed on Saturday and parents of my students work during the week (well, there could be one; I will find that out very soon, but I doubt it) Also possible that there will be some BAN activities over the weekend, that I might participate in. Will find out tonight, see what happens...
