where are we...

going, or "where too" cityboy? First weekend of the vacation over, and a fairly uneventful one at that.
After last post, went home and rested, finally left the apartment and headed for the Bunin, to see a movie that was part of the "rendezvous for French Cinema"  program there. Lucky I did---the movie that was showing at 9:15 was called Number One. It was a beautifully shot movie---made in Paris and other parts of France about a forty something woman who has risen in her corporation to fourth in line, but who is offered a CEO job with a water filtrating organization that has just lost is CEO. A strong woman's group is pressuring her to take it---she has other complications: family, a  husband who can't keep up with her---some rivals, that make the choice even harder. All this is presented in an extremely focused and serious way---nothing in the movie seems manufactured. The central character is multi dimensional played by the brilliant actress                                      . She captures every nuance of the characters strength and also uncertainty. I was involved throughout---really glad that I saw it.
 Yesterday, I was tired through most of the day. Thought of going to the lower east side to see my friend Flako's project at Abrons Arts, but by the middle of the day, realized that I could not make it. So I stayed home and rested. During this time I read a lot of Louis Auchinchloss's novel The Rector of Justin. It is really  remarkable book---very glad that I am reading it.
  Nothing much else to report. I have just found out that there will be a meeting in my neighborhood tonight headed by the City Council person in our district regarding a brutally high apartment tower that a developer wants to build near Lincoln Center. Should really go, although I might prefer a movie or a trip to Brooklyn. But, will probably attend, then see what happens.....
