Here we are...

an overcast Tuesday morning and I am at the library on 82nd and Amsterdam. Not a lot to report since yesterday---BAN meeting made sense---much discussion of the route of the march and a few other things. As usual, meeting was over at 9, and cityboy did not like the idea of returning to his apartment immediately. But not really hungry---and a beer seemed like it would sit too heavy in my stomach. Instinctively walked west---finally settled on going into the diner on 23rd and 9th (the one on the west side) which had on the Cleveland-Red Sox game (better then the Yankee-Oriole second game which was a rout)  The place was very quiet--almost eerily so---had a nice blueberry muffin and ice coffee as I tried to orient myself as to what was going on in Cleveland. Stayed there for a while---the waiter was very nice, did not rush me at all. Finally left and returned home, feeling a little tired.
  But it was still early---during the rest of the night through morning, had a lot of trouble sleeping. I think I sleep in the first few hours, but usually by 3 I am up and feeling strong---but with no where to go Don't have any social media outlet to get involved with, simply my own thoughts. Finally made it through the night, but the restlessness is grating on me. What to do? Home later would be a good idea, but how do I manage this if my stomach is full, and I have spent what I consider to be my "allowance" for the day. Problems, problems---well let's see how it all plays out.
  Today there is a rally at the Landmark commission this afternoon  at 4:30 to save the underground rail road house on Duffield Street, which is in danger of being destroyed. Will go, if I am not too tired. After that..? Maybe another visit to East River bar in search of long lost South fourth friends. Or maybe...?
