all my focus....

in the last 18 hours or so has been on my apartment, which experienced an intense leak in the bathroom last night. Panic! So much water! It seemed endless. Neighbors, very supportive, came into the apartment and observed. Would it ever stop? Finally the house plumber arrived, and identified the problem---the bath of my upstairs neighbor---and is supposed to be fixing it now, as I write this I JUST WANT THIS PROBLEM SOLVED! You can see how this is obsessing me---have not been able to focus on much else since the water careened down at about 8 P.M. last night.
So what else. Well, after today, it is possible that I will have seven straight days of work at Friends. Pretty good, quite a marathon, have to get ready for it and keep in shape.
BAN meeting was effective on Monday, some plans were made for the late summer march. It was cold, and I was underdressed, so my options for exploring the neighborhood were limited. It is an interesting neighborhood, the area that I wandered in briefly, even in the cold, before the meeting goes from about 18th and 4th to 24th and 5th. Lots of new buildings on the blocks between fourth and fifth--houses their are going for around 2.5 million, probably could have been bought for about $300, 000 twenty years ago. Sort of the back end of Park Slope. Passed a bar called Quarter---I have read some interesting things about in the past few years---one of the southern most bars in the slope> Might have tried it out, if it was not so cold, after the meeting could only run to the nearest R subway stop, luckily the train came right away.
No real plans for the weekend, will have to see how the sessions turn out. Will be at Friends tomorrow, and like I said earlier, for most if not all of next week. Will report soon.
