far more relaxed.....

today---as the apartment is being cleaned. So I sit here in the library, killing time and doing my hour or so on the computer. Why this lack of restlessness so prevalent in the last few days? Let's review what happened last night.
Began the evening at Lansdowne Road, of course my friends "the twins" C and M were there. Always good to see them; they have been so appreciative since I saw their one act.  Very warm, am beginning to see the difference between them (they are identical, so it is hard to tell). I think M is a little more determined about her career---anyway, will visit them again at the bar-restaurant soon.
Thought that this would be my night (it often is) but game got boring, and I ate quickly. Decided that I should go down to Sunshine Cinema to see the Jerry Lewis movie that I was anxious to check out. That is what I did---really glad about it. The movie, Max Rose, was very moving for me; I grew up watching Jerry (and Dean) and his footprints are all over my vision of life from age 7 to 14. So just the many close ups of him moved me deeply---similarly Claire Bloom, who appears as his faithful wife in flashbacks radiated a terrific glow. And the charcoal sketches of her when she was younger (I remember seeing Limelight at age 9, and being fascinated by her) were really stunning. Movies like these---where actors whom I remember in their twenties are now in their eighties, can open up a whole trove of memories for me. End of the movie a little soft, but otherwise, I bought into the plot and the circumstances. Left the theater feeling very moved; also it is important to note that there were only three of us watching the 9:25 showing---all males around 60 plus.the movie will play only one performance per day starting Friday, so I am glad I saw it yesterday., Must call my brother, probably after this session, and tell him about the movie---I am sure he would want to see it---Jerry was part of his life as well.
Plan for tonight is to go to Bushwick Starr to see the one woman show that is playing there. Don't know much about her, but always enjoy going to the Starr. Sure to see some people I know there. Of course, this is all tentative--watching the ball game on tv from Yankee Stadium yesterday at the bar, realized how empty the place was. Might want to go to tomorrow's game. We will see.
