anything to be.....

gained....in the Lincoln Center Library, a little bit at odds---this morning listened to some of the reports and comments from yesterday. Feel the whole thing is a bit silly. Am willing to wait to see if Hilary gets elected (this I hope) and then pass judgement as she selects her cabinet, her advisors, etc.
Before that, it is all conjecture.
Last night, somewhat tired, but I managed to get to Standings, the baseball bar that I frequent; bartender Sam was there---very nice guy, knows that I am only a one beer man, even if I spend about two hours watching the games. Which is what I did--got restless--then headed next door to Burp Castle, the quiet bar where my friend Erin was working. Had a nice time talking with her-discussed the forum at Brooklyn Museum last Sunday---also had a nice conversation with two of her regulars about Woody Allen's new movie and then a good conversation about Philidelphia with a guy who just wandered in. Left feeling good, but where was I to go. Hungry, so headed over to Two Boots for my slice of peppironi pizza (undercooked) and then got some ice cream at the waffle place on second and B. Still not too tired, walked down Clinton (more new building on the street) and then over to the F train on Delancey and Essex. Went home, reluctantly, but figured it was time (I was getting tired)  and my stomach could not take any more input. Read a little bit of the book The South Side, a book about segregated Chicago that looks like it will be very interesting. Then went to bed.
Today, after library session__not sure, there is an opening at the Bronx Documentary Center that sounds interesting---and since I have not been there in just about a year, and it is free, might check it out. A few other choices as well---but right now, that seems like the best. Later, in the library, after this session, might check out a copy of Troilius and Cressida and see if some of Sullivan's choices came from the text or were imposed. Still glad that I saw it on Tuesday night. The "imposition" really centers around the character of Cressida---the way it was staged on Tuesday makes her an unwilling
"betrayer" of Troilius---I have always read it more that she is simply intrigued by Diomedes her Greek captor. Anyway, we will see.
That is all for now---let's see how things develop for the rest of the day.
