here we are....

at the Lincoln Center Library Tuesday morning. A "quiet"day---can do what I wish to do. No plans. Why not? Yesterday, even though I was feeling tired from the intense exercise from the day before, I ventured to Brooklyn in the afternoon to participate in the 227 Duffield action, then the BAN meeting a few hours after. Not that hard----the protest was very well attended---I had a nice chat with a college student standing nearby---he was part of  a group that was going for interviews at Chase for summer 2020 interns. I explained to him the circumstances about the house with its underground rail road history, and he seemed very interested and committed to following the action on his computer. . A nice kid, he is a junior at U Penn--this was his first trip to New York. He was born and spent the first part of his life in Ghana. Anyway, that was meaningful. Had to leave in the middle of the action, because I was starving, but there were so many people at the action it did not matter.
  Found a grocery store that made me a small roast beef sandwich and then headed back to Manhattan for the meeting. Was able to participate for the first part of it---I brought up some interesting points, but as the meeting continued I got more and more tired. Left at the end and went straight home---something I don't like to do after the meeting, but quite frankly, I could hardly move. Actually got to sleep very quickly, and though I had two dreams---slept pretty well.
  Sort of enjoying doing "nothing"--maybe I will look at my movie choice for the afternoon or evening and make a decision. There is a very interesting movie playing at the Quad, the story of the making of the original Fiddler on the Roof. Want to see it, but feel like it is "comfort food" . Several other interesting movies around as well---theater that I am interested in does not begin until next week (with one exception). That is about the status of things now. So much time spent in Brooklyn this summer, should at least make one trip to the Bronx, but.....ambivalent. Anyway, the day continues and I will report soon.
