Mr. frenetic! A day without work was interrupted by a call from the librarian at Friends. They need someone to cover the afternoon hours. Could I do it? Well, I had a session scheduled with someone who was very sincere, but said yes anyway (had to, more money). Still was not feeling great about it but I did call the mother of my session taker and she understood; I changed our time to Saturday morning. This means I will have four sessions on Saturday---quite a lot---wonder whether I will have any time for evening diversion. Well, we will let it play out.
Yesterday, not much to report. Went to concert at Friends; lots of talented kids, even if the concert was overlong and the room was very hot. Afterwards felt tired, so I went to the nearest place: the Gramercy Bar, that quiet bar on second near 19th street--it is getting to be a very handy place. Had my hummus (they make a very good hummus dish) and watched two basketball games---no conversation, the bartender was very dutiful but did not really want to make conversation. Beautiful night last night, so even as I was tired, I walked a bit after the meal (ended up at Barnes and Noble) and then came home.
Tomorrow at Friends, I am subbing for an english teacher who is teaching his senior class about the sonnets. Did some work on that, and will continue, when I am in the library. Also, continuing my enjoyment of 4321 Paul Auster's intense and sometimes exasperating, novel, but always very insightful with a good sense of humor.
That is all for now----who knows what the night will bring, or where I will end up.
