crazy morning, after a nice...

night last night---just went to La Flaca and watched the whole Yankee Red Sox game, while eating a filling blt. Good companionship with bartender Tom---a very nice time. Leaving at about 10:30 cityboy did not want to go immediately home, so I walked west on Grand Street to a new ice cream shop, and had a cup of chocolate ice cream then continued walking west until Forsyth, north on Forsyth to Houston. Right before Houston, almost touching the projects on Forsyth and Stanton is a new luxury apartment house and hotel. The friendly doorman outside told me that all in all, six bars exist in the hotel-apartment house. Six bars! Unbelievable. This is what New York has become. La Flaca was kind of relaxed yesterday, but on my wanderings I passed many bars that seemed full.  On Houston, as one walks west, the "Italian streets" (Elizabeth, Mott and Mulberry) are far more quieter, cityboy disdained getting into the subway at Broadway-Lafayette and instead walked to the Film Forum, in the hope of getting some schedules, unfortunately there were none outside. Into the subway (the one train) finally, ten minutes to the train, heat and sweat was unbearable. Cityboy, however stuck it out, and finally the train came, local all the way.
This morning, after the usual coffee, cityboy felt restless as he waited for 10:00 (Library openings) , and then became very tired. When he awoke from a short nap, he felt weak, yet was able to get to the Ryan Center on West 97th street to return some important medical material. Weakness, why? Well, did not sleep well last night, and a lot of exercise in the last two days. Now, feeling better, may need some food soon.
  This afternoon, may try to visit bartender Olivia at one of the Dive Bars, then rest, maybe before seeing my friend Eliza's play the Beyonce, on 53rd street and ninth. Tomorrow would like to attend Hoops for Justice in East Flatbush, should be exciting, since I rarely go there. After that, hard to say, about four movies that I would find interesting, and of course a few plays as well. Nothing clear, at this point, for cityboy.
  That is all for now, I will report tomorrow and tonight's "adventure".
