kind of tired---ended up last night at La Flaca---had a nice conversation with Bob, the owner who has been my friend for what will be 19 years in September. Does not seem like a long time ago, but was--I was still doing most of my subbing in the public schools then. The Yankee game was "rained out"--called in the midst of brilliant sunlight but with high storm expectations. I never saw that before, but sure enough, it rained heavily for most of the evening--the game surely would have been called or postponed into the next millenium. Today a doubleheader (yes, a real one) at 3---don't know if my body is ready for that trip--will just let it happen---sometimes I think it would be better just to check out a movie near me. Doubleheaders: I can remember them back to 1951 (labor day---Gaints vs. Phils). Growing up, doubleheaders were the norm---they would begin around 2, and usually we would be home around 7 or 8. A long journey. Anyway, jumped on the F and took it to Broadway-Lafayette, then decided to get off and go back into the street. Thought that maybe I would walk to the Film Forum, but it was raining heavily, so I just stayed under some construction and watched the people near by, grab their ubers or regular taxis. Felt mellow. Finally returned to the D, then got off at 7th avenue--that was a mistake--the next D was not scheduled to arrive for 25 minutes. Went up into the street (climbed four flights) and walked in the rain to 57th and 8th--then descended into the subway again for the ride home. No wonder I am tired now. Lots of climbing yesterday.
Still not sure what the plan will be for the rest of the day. The weekend is a little clearer with the action outside the ice cream shop Scoops in Flatbush for tomorrow evening. Can do what I like on Saturday. Two more stories in Ms. Eisenberg's book of semi-novellas---can't just jump at them, because emotionally they do take their tole. That's all for now---will report soon.
