invigorated by...

my session with a five year old kindergarden student. She is a real live wire, and we get along well. First time we really worked for an hour---very fulfilling.
Last night: was tired but went to see The Band's Visit at Atlantic. Was given a seat in the first row, that probably helped keep me awake. But the musical is pathetic. Totally paint by numbers---its amazing to me how the director and book writer, both whom have done really good projects in the past, cannot see through the flaws that the work constantly shows. My friend Kristen is in it; she is great (all the actors in the cast are truly authentic---it is not their fault that the piece is lifeless). Said hello to her afterwards and walked her to the subway---we talked about a few people we knew and plans for her permanent group called the Team. Also said hello to some others from the show, gave them a strong compliment (they deserved it)---walking with her, talking about friends, I felt like I was in a good place. She had to go back to her apartment in Brooklyn, so I said good by to her at the subway---then decided not to get the usual pizza and possibly a beer afterwards and ate at Elephant and Castle. Nice restaurant (no tv) with fairly expensive food. Left after a nice chicken bacon sandwich and nothing else---cost me with tip and tax about $15.00. Gorged myself on butter and bread before the sandwich arrived---big mistake, love the butter but it does not go well with a sandwich. Woke up this morning feeling very bloated--as it approaches 1 P.M. have still not taken in much food. Be more careful, cityboy.
Today and tomorrow, all open, I think the first order of the day is seeing the Merrily We Role Along movie, then perhaps out to Brookyn---another movie? Maybe, also might want to visit the Starr Bar in Brooklyn---things will be cramped starting next week, so should see whatever I need to in the next 48 hours.
Nothing much else to report...will write again soon.
