not a great deal.....

to report re yesterday, after the time at the library, returned home, did some tax work, and then rested. Theater plans that looked so good in the morning, gone by the evening---simply too tired. When it came down to what I would do, it would either be a movie in the neighborhood or a possible hang out at a bar on the west side of 142nd street and Broadway where I had eaten some food on Christmas day. What did I really want to do. I chose the bar---maybe a little personal adventure beat a movie evening--and arrived there around 7:30. Place was pretty crowded and I was given a place on the bar, at the side, so I could not see the TVs. No problem, the bartender was very nice and with no real salad to choose from--he suggested a pizza that had a salad on it and some meet---and I accepted. So I remained there for the next 45 minutes--there were people around me but no conversation developed; they were into their own heads--the pizza came quickly and was very filling. After I left I decided to take the train to 116th street then walk down the Columbia corridor. This I did, stopped off at the bookstore on Broadway and 114street  and browsed (it seems to have been there forever) and then wandered down the rest of the corridor. Too tired to make it to 96street, I entered the subway at 110th street and returned home. So that was it---lots of time with my thoughts.
   Today, after sessions will once again try to see a play at Abrons Arts by the Tiny Little Band---my friend Merlyn, former bartender at South fourth and a good guy and good actor is in it. This will probably mean I will stop off at La Flaca, both before and afterwards and hang out there. Tomorrow, I promised another BAN member that I would join him in East Flatbush and flyer for a meeting on Monday---should be fun, and get me into a part of Brooklyn that I don't often go to (but should go to  more) and then forsake the Academy Awards (I really find them pretentious) by going to a Zydeco dance festival at a bar on 45street that I my friend Jen told me about. Hopefully that will turn out to be fun. I can either dance or watch. Should be interesting to find out what happens, will report soon.
