cityboy has a....

job. Subbing lower school spanish tomorrow. A heavy schedule---six half hour classes. also have to go to one of the neighborhood libraries and try to find a Spanish book that I will teach tomorrow. Could wait until tomorrow morning, but want to be very prepared. Ironically, this has thrown the rest of my day into a kind of strange holding pattern. Was looking forward to a day doing "nothing", in other words, just letting the thoughts fly and not forcing anything, I think I was going to try to read one of the Elizabethan plays written by one of Shakespeare's contemporaries, but now, want to get to work on my Spanish.!
        Yesterday, did go to protest outside real estate-entepreneur summit---stayed for about two hours, really pleased that I went---there were about 16 of us, and a number of photographers,( at one point they seemed to outnumber the protesters) but we got our point across, many people stopped and took flyers, and I felt a solidarity with my fellow protesters. I think something really is being accomplished---the word is getting out---like so many other issues now, more people are beginning to see that they can contribute. Felt invigorated doing it---lasted about two hours; the protest lasted another hour---afterwards I went into Juniors (right across the street) and had coffee and a decent (but not great) piece of marble pound cake. Cost me around $9.50 with tax. So it goes in NYC.
   Not much more to say---rest of day consists of library and maybe a movie or play at EST. All will be decided at the last minute as the day progresses. Will let you know....
