the happier I am that I ventured to Baltimore this weekend. What an explosion for my imagination. Wish that I could take more trips like that this summer, but will have to settle for the one to Washington in August, and maybe one to Philidelphia in the beginning of August> Why? Love watching the way cities function. That's all, cityboy---the incredible flow of people---the racial divisions--the "playgrounds for the new young people" trying to understand the meaning of race and privilege in each city. Yes, I am enthused with the possibilities of travel--yet now I feel there is so much going on here in NYC. Attended the BAN meeting last night---not that many people there, but we discussed some important topics---there will be two actions this week, the first, on the fifth anniversary of the "death" of Eric Garner, is a protest tomorrow---might be a little too heavy for cityboy, but the second on Friday early evening--a protest to save a favorite Carribean Ice Cream Store that is being forced out in Flatbush, I will definitely go to.
Not much else to report---after the meeting I "stuffed" myself with a cheese danish from the Greek diner on 23rd street---should not have done it; I am still dealing with the after effects of that, and then, tired, returned home. Of course, did not sleep well---but here I am---making it through. Tonight, after a session will go to the Green Light Bookstore on Fulton in Brooklyn and attend reading of a novel that Alex, the husband of my friend Sarah, has written. Afterwards, maybe we will all go "hang out". and I can discuss with Sarah (and possibly some others) my feelings about Fairview. Well we will see.
That is all for now, will report tomorrow.
