the horror continues....

on the Federal front, but here in NYC,  I get an e-mail about a terrible eviction on Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn. How long can this go on--when will it stop. Elected representatives must realize that they are responsible to the people who live in their neighborhoods, not the elite development class. Will do all I can to fight this horror!
  With all this, should I even recount the events of the previous day? Well, anyway, after a session, took the A and the M to Williamsburg for South fourth's movie afternoon. The movie was Roma, by Fellini, but I had a great deal of trouble following it. Kind of scattered in vision----also, there was a lot of talking at the bar. I was in a grumpy mood, I was kind of tired---so did not really have an viable conversations with anyone--my friend Kathy was there---but only spoke to her briefly. After the movie ended, the baseball game came on---a great disappointment---a very slow game, that the Yankees finally broke open in the sixth inning. The Mariners, a team supposedly on the rise, only got 2 hits! Left the bar, grabbed an ice cream and went home. Needed the sleep.
Today, there is the movie, Charm City at the Bunin that I already have tickets for. I am really anxious to see it---it is a documentary about Baltimore and how the different strata of society there are processing and dealing with the Freddy Gray incident. Baltimore, is of course, where I went to college (Hopkins) and a city that I have visited frequently since my graduation, and a city that I am very concerned about. There is a great gap there between the middle class (black and white) and the poor black community. Hopefully the documentary will be enlightening---there will be a discussion afterwards that I will stay for.
  Then it will be back to the apartment---tomorrow morning I should be up around 4, to get ready for my friend Sibyl's solstice pageant at the Skyport Marina (not the Whitney, this time)  that begins at 5:30. One of the few times I will take an taxi to an event. Hope there is a lot of coffee there. Then, back to the apartment to crash? Well, we will see, meanwhile will try to make the rest of the day, productive.
