Tuesday morning....

looks like yesterday was my final day this year at Friends. I mean, I will return for the final assembly on Friday, and for the staff party on Thursday a week, but as far as being in front of a class, this was probably it. I fifth grade environment class---I approached it with a little trepidation, one or two of the students had, in the past, been a little "frisky' but all went well, and two of the girls were very committed to the assignment, which made me feel very good. Yes the "frisky" students were challenging, but it was not too difficult to work with them. Left on a good note. now what?
 Well, a great deal is opened to me---actually a different sense of time and space--a lot of choices in a lot of different areas--in my mind, time and space have exploded. Of course, I have to be careful with my money---at home, I am always figuring things out money wise. And I am hard on myself in that area. Now, sitting in the library, I feel an intense sense of freedom---we will see how far this goes.
  And what of the weekend? Well, on Saturday, I made my first trip to the Doxee, the Target Margin space on 52nd between second and third, in Brooklyn.  A great space, seating on various kinds of chairs surround the circular space-it gives the viewer an incredible opportunity to watch the creativity of the actors and creators. And in this case, it was a very warm and open take on the Sindbad legend---beautifully performed. Really glad that I went---there are three more projects in this presentation. I will try to see two of them, not one this week. The event was marred by a loss of my apartment key, and a fear that the one that I had left on me (I always carry two) might buckle. So instead of continuing my Brooklyn "adventure" I manically went home, feeling very anxious on the subway, only to find that my remaining apartment key opened the door easily. So next time it will be back to Manhattan via Freddy's are another bar, probably in the south slope.
  Sunday, was the two stops at Cobra and South Fourth that I did the Sunday before. It is nice-friendly bartenders, mostly good conversation, a real sense that I "belong" in both bars. Tiredness cut in early, and I returned home by about 9, but it was a good day.
  Today, after a session, will probably head out to South fourth where one of the managers, Mark is showing a movie (free) series. Do not know what it is, but have the time, so might as well go. After that......?
