not sure of day plans. A hunger to see the current version of Oklahoma, at the Circle in the Square, but unless I can see it for $50.00 of less (a standing room---not sure I could do it) I probably won't.
Other options? You know them well, cityboy.
Here I am in the library on 42nd and 5th. It opens at 8 in the morning, very good for me to know, since my energy is high early morning, and the other libraries are not opened until 10. I came here particularly because I want to get a book out of the fiction section, a book called Summer In Williamsburg by Joseph Fuchs, written in the thirties (did you think it was some tell all written by a milennial who had just arrived) about (I think) his boyhood in the area when it was a Jewish working class area. This is the only library that has it, but since all libraries are closed tomorrow for the holiday, decided I really needed it today. Am currently reading the mystery by Will Madeiros that takes place in Bed-Stuy and its environs, but it reads fast and it is possible that I might be finished with it tomorrow. Do not want to be left without a book to read, so...here I am. Library was fairly quiet and uncrowded when I got here around 8:40. Anyway, when I finish at this computer, I will try to find Fuchs' book as well as possibly one or two others that might interest me. That is the plan.
Yesterday---stomach cramps all day---really a rarity, much better this morning----but I did go to East River---met Clint and also my buddy Harlo, (and later her husband Noah) and had good solid conversations with them. At around 8 I was tired, so headed north on Bedford, grabbed a pizza slice near the L, and, with some trepidation, took the L back into Manhattan. Amazingly enough there were no glitches---since the changed "shutdown", I had scrupulously avoided the L, even if it means taking more circuitous routes, to and from Williamsburg and Bushwick. Will this change it? Not sure, enjoyed the challenge of finding the other ways.
Anyway, that is where cityboy stands now---no posting tomorrow, because of the holiday, but should be back Friday or Saturday. Stay cool.
