hectic day....

yesterday, but cityboy brought it off. Began with three periods in  a row at Friends---and a brief respite followed by lunch duty, watching the seventh grade. When it was over, time to go to the library on 160th street for a session with a third grader, and then home. But not really, the Spring Concert at Friends was yesterday evening---and believe it or not, I went---tiredness and all. The amazing thing is that I made it through easily and then was even able to stop off at the Gramercy Bar and watch some basketball and baseball. Like that place, though no one to talk with yesterday---it did not matter, I just wanted to watch the games and be left to think about them. What is most interesting is the route that I take after I leave the bar. Usually walk north on second avenue to 23rd, then walk to fifth avenue to catch the W or R trains. Twenty third street between second and fifth a little weird. Usually quiet, some couples and single people walking to different places, a few bars---but mostly apartment houses (with doormen) that seem to have been converted from offices courtesy of the last mayor and his programs. It is a strange, solitary street---not much else to say.
Nothing else new to report---today may decide to go to Film Forum to see Melville movie---I had thought this was its last day, so felt some urgency but it seems it will be extended for another week. Still, I should go this afternoon---really my only chance---if you look at the coming schedules and what they show.  Tonight is the Jazz concert at Friends---I always go to it--and after that---well, we will see. Doubt that i will head right home, since I don't expect to be tired---but where? Not sure. Maybe La Flaca and a pre-birthday visit with my friend Bob, who owns the place, or maybe even traipse into Brooklyn.
Will be at Friends tomorrow, and then the next day is the alumni reunion, a day that I really look forward to. Lots of interaction with those coming back, and this will be the first year that two classes that I really knew well---07 and 12, will be back together. Looking forward to it, should be really interesting.
That is it for now...will report soon
