cityboy takes a break....

between a couple of sessions..Long day today. Not a bad day at FRiends yesterday, except for one unfortunate incident which does not need to be discussed. Don't take it too hard, cityboy, I think we can go on from here. But a good day with the fifth graders; I look forward to working with them again.
  Yesterday, too tired after the work at Friends to go anywhere, Thursday evening wanted to stay in the neighborhood, so I went to the bar in the hotel on 77th and Broadway. Not a bad place, lots of tv's, and they know that you are there to socialize so nobody is rushed. Expensive---a beer before the tip was $9.80. but it is understandable--I had a nice conversation with the man sitting next to me, an inquisitive fellow who sometimes seemed a little too pushy, but---well, it is a bar---I could have stayed longer, watched the game and waited for another conversation to begin, but I was tired. Still, it is a nice place to know---I think hanging out there at times would lead to something interesting---will return, in spite of the high price.
  Tonight, I hope to be strong enough to go out to Brooklyn to see my friend Amina's play---much too tired last night to go. Only have one more week to see it. Offered some free tickets to the Met---Manon, an opera that I know well and might enjoy after a hard day's work, but will make the Brooklyn trip my priority.
 Tomorrow is a free day, hope to relax, watch some football and go on from there. Will report soon.
