did Friends start today? Really thought it was tomorrow. I contacted Elle, the middle school secretary, and she got back to me immediately, so it does not look like it will be long before I will be contacted. Still, feel a little bit out of it. Again, cityboy occupies an odd place in the school, neither part of it completely, or not outside of it either. But that could change at any minute if I get an e-mail, so let's just see what happens.
Yesterday night, the BAN meeting, next to the last meeting before the march.Lots of high energy and decisions made. Still don't know if I will be able to go, but I would like to. Have to see what my schedule is for that day. There are some events this weekend pertaining to gentrification and its protests, that I might attend this weekend if I can.
The "lowlight" of the evening was after the BAN meeting, going for a fruit cup and coffee at the Greek diner around the corner on 23rd street. What was frightening? The bill, before the tip was about $9.58! Unbelievable! Something must be done; our elected officials must do something to control this "madness". Where will it end? In five years,will the same fruitcup and coffee cost $13.00? Is this the legacy we are leaving our children and the younger citizens of the city? What can one do? Frustrating!
Rest of the day "unclear". It is very hot, need to stay indoors in a cooling place. Maybe a movie, maybe going to La Flaca, have not been there for a while, and the energy their is very accepting. Will report tomorrow.
