after the convention---some good statements on facebook that I could respond to---like that. I am trying to put together my feelings about Hilary's speech. I n theory, I think she realizes that she cannot openly compliment her "Centrist" faction, but in order to win the votes of the Bernie delegates and followers, she has to move "left". And I think if she wins, this part of the democratic party will truly hold her accountable to meet their needs. Okay, let us see what happens.
Last night, went to Bronx Documentary Center---touched base with Mike, the guy who conceived and runs it---very nice guy, looked at the exhibit which shows real time horrors from the last 100 years. Very strong---difficult to absorb, but very glad it was shown. After that not sure, took 5 to east side---thought I might end up in Williamsburg, but too tired---wandered around third avenue in the eighties---finally found a salad place where, for $8.70, I had a large chicken Caesar salad. Pretty good, though I would have liked to spend a little less money (forget about it)---enjoyed looking at the architecture that lines the blocks between 3rd and 2nd avenues in the east eighties and seventies ( more varied than you might think) and then took 6 to Astor Place, decided not to have a beer in a sport bar, instead returned to Burp Castle and had a beer there. New bartender, he was nice, sat by myself (counter was filled) and read the interesting book on the south side of Chicago---no real conversation. Pretty tired, then left and went home---fell asleep quickly.
Today--will attend Assembly party in the evening, should be fun and meaningful---there is a protest in Bushwick a little later in the afternoon. Have some errands to run, but hopefully I can be there.
Will report tomorrow,
