invigorated after

subbing for a class in Hamlet with the seniors. Lots of energy and fun and a good response. At this point, no more work for the rest of the week. I can see that as a good thing, if it allows me to attend tomorrow's Prelude (will also probably go tonight) in which my friend Sibyl will present a preview of her winter solstice piece. Beautiful day---am in a nice place.
  Last night, thought that it might be possible to attend the first day of Prelude---a couple of forums and a few presentations, but after lesson at 145street, got off the A at 59th street and realized that the energy was just not there. Had a nice salad at Whole Foods, and after a brief trip to the library, headed home. Did not sleep, however, heard most of the Met game on the radio, as I rested---probably the best way to  experience it, in light of all the tension at the game. Could follow it by myself, pitch by pitch.Company not necessary. Heard all of it through its disastrous "conclusion" and after some food, went to sleep.
 Tonight, after session will attempt for the second time to go to Prelude (second day) and check out a few works in progress. Don't know if I know anyone who is presenting tonight, but probably will run into someone that I know. God, so much theater---it used to be who is doing theater, now it is who ISN'T doing theater. Performances at the Starr and Jack, BAM,  and God knows where else, as Preludes is going on. Feeling "oversated"? You bet!
That's all for now, will report on tonight's events tomorrow.
