just read another....

article discussing (that is an incredibly weak word) Hillary's participation in the Libya problem. Also discusses the 2014 massacre of Palestinians by Isreali forces and Hilary's denial of it. Sad, that after all these years, the idea of killing is a kind of "normalcy" among certain people. Somehow when I was growing up, the idea of a "better" world (more peaceful) seemed to have meaning. It is hard to congratulate one self on having reached a certain age in solid health, when this is still going on.  I had hoped that this blog would reveal the good time I had last night at Bushwick, now the whole story seems superficial. Self versus the world. What is the most important image?
       Anyway, yesterday, returned from Brooklyn, rested, went back out to Bushwick to the Starr. Saw Shasta's project---a black sexy show---lots of pelvis moving, somewhat integrated audience, took me a while to get into it, but lots of good cheer among the audience (there was a lot of audience participation) and it was good to see people of the Starr---Noel and Megan for the first time in a while. Really like the theater, happy to support them. Towards the end, found myself for the first time in a long time participating in the dancing with most of the audience. Very happy about that.
   Afterwards, headed to Left Hand Path, the bar connected to the theater,a few blocks down, that gave out one free beer with the ticket. Nice bar, no tv, good ambiance and good beer. I was joined by a fellow audience member who had come to the theater with her friend. The three of us talked: the woman whose name was Dionne was a yoga instructor, her place is across the street from the library where I give my lessons. She also is good friends with the mother of three of the girls who go to Friends, two of whom I know well and am very fond of. Great coincidence, good conversation. Left to go back to Manhattan, feeling very up (and quite tired)---really enjoy the Bushwick experience---want to return there often, and try out other places or hang out at those that I know.
    Today, will see "The Glass Shield" a movie by Charles Burnett that I have always wanted to see at the Reade---not sure what else, tomorrow, probably will make my football "rounds" in Bushwick and Williamsburg.  Aside from what I wrote above, am in a pretty good place, will report Monday, or maybe tomorrow, if I find myself near a computer.
