my friend Bob and I decided that an August trip to DC and a baseball game at that time (Brewers-Nationals, very important) might be better then a trip in the next week and a half. Far better for me; I won't be pressured after the trip this weekend to Baltimore. Still, there is a small gap in terms of what that next week will bring. More travels around Brooklyn? We will see.
Last night, went to the BAN meeting-lots of discussion about the march in September---happy because a young man whom I met totally by accident in Brooklyn whom I began a conversation with, showed up with a friend. The march includes at this point a walk along Stuyvesant Street---might take that walk in the next few days, to check out the territory. This was the street that Spike Lee used in Do the Right Thing---the movie, which I saw in 89, is now playing in one or two theaters in the city. A little nervous about checking it out again---might be interesting just in terms of looking at the architecture of the street---that world has changed so much---like the rest of Bed-Stuy.
Today is open---will probably return to East River around 6 and see if any of my South Fourth friends are there--really had a nice conversation with many of them last week. After that...?
I continue to read and be fascinated by Summer in Williamsburg, the novel written about 90 or so years ago by Daniel Fuchs. But because it is in a gigantic book with two other novels by Fuchs, I can't take it anywhere (or so I think) so it is incumbent on me to find another book that interests me to take on my 'subway journeys. Am in the library now, will look for one after I finish at this computer.
That is all for now--life is full of surprises and choices if you live in the city---will report soon.
