tired today...

and why should not I be? Yesterday, after two sessions (very productive) rested, then went to the Starr to see my friend Christina's play. Adventure on the way to the Star----got off at Flushing and Broadway, then thought a bus might get me to Wycoff, but of course, no bus in sight. So I walked, and walked and walked---all the way to Flushing and Irving---then over to Starr--practically yelling by the end--what a sense of "triumph"! But I did it. Stopped off at a Salad place on Irving and Starr (they are incredibly nice) and then went to the play. It is an odd and passionate piece, really in two parts. The first combines surrealism, mystery, legend, the unknown, and sexual bullying. The secoond part---it fades in without any warning is a confessional by Christine, the actress and playwright, in which she deals with her Japanese-American identity. I like Christine---we had a really nice conversation on a Saturday in December after Jill F's project---so I am trying to be as supportive as possible. Some very imaginative things in the piece---and some self indulgence as well. Still, the audience really loved it, and the rest of the cast is, as usual for the Starr and other experimental venues, totally inventive. I would have liked to say hello to Christine after the play ended, but so many people were waiting for her---so I decided to head for the Starr Bar, across the street, to get some food and with the hope that she and her friends might arrive there as well. They did not, so I did not get a chance to chat with her, or let her k now I was there, but I had nice meal at the Starr, and enjoyed the ambiance. Then it was off on the Subway shuttle to the M on Myrtle and Wycoff (the M arrived quickly) and back to the city. Cold, I did not bring a hat (I should have) but I got home in good shape. But that walking--no wonder that i am tired.
  Slow day, today---three more days until Wednesday morning when i see the doctor and get an appointment for a colonoscopy. Still dealing with resistance, even though intellectually I do think it is important. Things have changed. Well, let's see what happens, will report soon.
