Friday morning...

no work---my one good stock has "tanked" (for now) and---well that is all the "bad news". The good, started one scene from a possible short play in my head---actually wrote about 15 lines of dialogue. Pretty good for me. That is what comes out of the restlessness I feel.
 Yesterday---after a session--went to Brooklyn, to my two (now) favorite places--the Gotham Center, opposite the Harvey Theater at BAM, and the fiction bookstore about a block away. Have nothing to do---I probably go there. Again, had a chance to see a movie or play, but turned it down---left early around 8:30 to return home
  Today, there is a rally and community speak out outside the landmark commission in downtown Manhattan to protest the Landmark Commission's refusal to landmark a small building that served as a runaway slave free house, and is now scheduled to be demolished so that the current landlord can build eleven luxury apartments. On a block that is already lined with luxury hotels and apartments. Tomorrow I will not be able to attend the rally and march, but I will be there today. After that....
can't say---will depend on how much energy I have left.
  Two good articles in the Times today on the continuing devastation caused by the development community. But the word is getting out---one of the Mayoral aspirants promises not to take any campaign money from real estate interests. He understands the possible push back if he does.
 That is all for now---will report soon.
