yesterday.

won $25.00 on a scratch off ticket---finally after playing this card (the green cashword) just about every day and getting nothing. Feeling a little more relaxed.
Then it was on to the Whitney, for Sybil's quarterly solstice "bash". I arrived about an hour early and secured my place on the stand by line. Good thing that I did since they only took in 18 (I was actually the first on line). Sibyl's immersive theater piece (if that is what you want to call it)  was as usual, profound, silly scattered, distancing, involving, inventive, with a large group of participants guiding us through the mazes of the museum. I think those that performed worked harder and had more to do then previously. Performers were the "usual suspects" including my friend Sarah and Ruth.  At this point, Sibyl's solstice events have become part of my life and I try to attend as many as possible. I will only miss the next one (the beginning of autumn) if there is work that I must do. And I love the challenges of coming to these celebrations in the really early part of the morning, as I did for the winter and spring celebrations.
It was all over a little after twelve. I toyed with the idea of going into a bar in the area, but none really seemed interesting and I was hungry---I did not want to part with too much of well earned lottery money too quickly, so I took the subway back home, and bought some food to take home with me.
     
Crossing 14th street from Hudson (ninth) to seventh avenue, the street seemed a little "seedy' many homeless, (sadly) on the street. Wonder what it would be like to live on one of those loud blocks.

Today, after this, I expect to go to the protest at City Hall to support the Small Jobs Survival Act, which is fighting for a kind of commercial rent control. People in different area are fed up with the rising prices which come from the high rents of storefronts, which are passed along to normal people like myself.Want very much to show my support---I am not sure what the rest of the day wlll bring--this is really my only "open" evening until Sunday---so I would like to go with the lack of structure, the possibility of a choice anywhere.
Will report tomorrow
