Brooklyn, once again....

had to return a book to Central Library, so here I am, will  try to wend my way from here to Bushwick and then to South Fourth to watch the two chanpionship football games that are on today.
Kind of an adventure, getting from here (Grand Army Plaza) to Wycoff in Bushwick, but will figure out a way of going, without leaving Brooklyn. Could be any kind of adventure.
   Yesterday after the library, went to Signature Center to pick up ticket to Everybody, the new Brandon Jacobs play (had to go there because I did not want to pay a service charge on the internet)  and then returned home. In the evening I traversed all of the one block to the theater where the play that I was seeing, the Oregon Trail was playing. An interesting play, very well acted, the central character is a young woman who evolves during the course of the play from Junior High School to adult hood. She also fantasizes about a distant relative with her name (Jane) who traveled from Missouri to  Oregon. The two stories play off each other as the play continues. For the play's first half hour, I found myself detached, some funny lines, but not a lot of depth. But as the play evolved, the story of Jane (in the present) and her post college self, a bright woman at a stopping point in her life, paralized by her inability to find a job or to center herself, became very moving. The playwright creates this woman and her sister with a lot of depth, and  is both honest and compassionate in hert treatment of her. In the end, I was very moved---afterwards, said hi to my friend Emily, who played the Jane character who goes to Oregon. Once again the five actors were amazing. A good experience.
 After the play, did not want to go home or to a greek diner for privacy (as I had done the night before) and so opted for the Dive Bar, on 96th and Amsterdam; I suppose out of a number of places on the upper west side, I find this place the most palatable, and you can see why; even when very crowded the servers and bartenders are relaxed and friendly, and the people there run the full spectrum of ages from young to old. Crowded as usual, but after a few minutes, I was able to find a place at the bar, and ordered my hummus plate, necessary as my stomach was a little leery.
I observed all around me, watched some basketball, but found no one to talk to. All right, kind of tired anyway, and so after the hummus, returned home.
   That's the report, will report on today's "adventure" at the next possible time.
