It's back....

the "dreaded" colonoscopy issue. Just returned from an appointment with a colo-rectal surgeon---he found some hemorroids but no cancer from what might be called a superficial check, but again, encouraged me to have the procedure. New phone number to call to make an appointment to have him do it. Has to be in July--he is moving his office on September---and that means school. So what do I do? Will call his office tomorrow and see what times he has---don't want to cancel another one. Other then that, am feeling good. Well we will see.
   Saturday , trouped out to the Doxcee to see their Arabian Nights project---directed and conceived by a friend of mine. Very interesting---a little insulative---some times I felt cut out of the whole thing, but also some very vibrant and passionate action. Glad I went---had a good conversation with a young Muslim director who is doing a take on Romeo and Juliet in (of all places) Fayetteville, Arkansas. We took some of the subway ride back together---thought that I would end up at Freddys, but got on a D, instead of a  R, and wound up in the bar-restaurant next to TFANA. Watched the end of the Yankee game and had a hummus plate, the staff was very nice to me---then went home.
  Yesterday---went to say hi to my friend Olivia at Cobra, watched some of the old timers game and most of the regular Yankee game on their TV, then went to the Flea, to see the play there that New Georges is doing. Love the artistic director Susan of that group, but I was disappointed in the play---sort of a one trick idea that stalled--it did not help that all of a sudden with about 45 minutes to go, I had to pee, and had to hold it in for the rest of the play. From where I was seated there was no way to leave the auditorium, without calling a tremendous attention to myself. That would have been funny---a destruction to my "theater cred" at the very least. Reminds me of the first time that happened, way back in spring 1980, at a performance of a wonderful play called Museum by Tina Howe, at the Public.  But it did not happen--I held on, and things were cool. Had a nice conversation with Susan's son Beatty. who is graduating Bronx Science this Wednesday. Taught him the "nasty" version of the school Alma Mater, that he will be singing at the graduation. Saw a lot of friends, basically a nice night.
  Tonight a lot of options, should be strong enough to travel, was toying with the idea of going up to Yankee Stadium for a game it should be easy to get in to---now not too sure. Might want to watch the game on TV with a few other games, maybe at Standings. Of course I could try a new bar without a TV---do I dare?   Tune in tomorrow for the result.
