well, at least for the next two weeks, as Friends is closed, so most of the time is to myself. Have to get used to feeling free in the morning. Still, lots to do, friends to visit, friends in plays to support, movies to catch up on, bars to catch up on, etc, etc.
Thursday night: another stay at home, and last night, after a long and hectic day at Friends, feel asleep quite early. Tonight there is a strong possibility I will try to see Flako's piece at Abrons, also just made a reservation to see Winter's Tale at TFANA---my friend Michael is in it. Tomorrow, I am"psyched" to see Heat, the Michael Mann movie that stars both Pacino and De Niro, (they have one scene together) and lasts about 3 hours. After that, lots of choices, hope at some point to see The Low Road and the Amateurs, but who knows? Also going to Sybil's project at the Whitney this Tuesday afternoon.
Yesterday at Friends, participated in a discussion that is revolving around the attempted firing of a teacher for making what some students claimed were anti-semitic remarks. About eight students talked about the problems inherent in the aftermath of the firing---which will be challenged by the union; the teacher is a long time veteran of the school, and, as far as I know, has never had any problems before. The dialogue was pretty open; I only made one comment, and that was for clarification. I was happy to join the discussion---everyone is very serious in coming to terms and solving the problem. The seriousness of the discussion did not move itself into my last class-a fifth grade that worked very conscientiously on their Spanish assignment. I left feeling very good about the warmth and energy that I received from the last class.
Not much else to say---it will be interesting to see how the vacation (such as it is) plays itself out, and where I find myself at different times. Will report soon.
