nice day yesterday...

at Friends, though a little tirering; had really good session with fifth grade class in the afternoon. Left with good feelings Came home, tired, rested, got out, went to a Greek Diner on 90th street---to my surprise, on Friday about 8, really filled up, it might as well have been a neighborhood bar (I am sure they were filled up as well) . Had a nice blt and watched some situation comedies on their tv screen that is right in front of the counter. Comedies (which I have not seen before) as usual, were very silly. Walked back to the apartment and stopped at the neighborhood Barnes and Nobles---browsed for a bit, and then returned to the apartment. Nice to have a "second wind" after resting, after a long day, but was happy to be home by about 9:30.
 Thursday evening--did get out---not to a movie, simply went to Keeley's bar, the one on Amsterdam and 83rd street and watched the first couple of innings of the Astro-Ray game, won, of course, by the Astros. The bar has a really nice selection of beer---mostly young and somewhat noisy crowd, bartenders decent, a little impersonal. Still, on Thursday, after deciding not to try to get into a film festival showing, I was determined to "hang" at that place. Left with mixed feelings, but probably will go back.
  This evening, I have a free choice, since I have some sessions, did not want to make plans in advance--will see how much energy I have left. Maybe a play or a movie. There is a play at LaMama that has a 5 p.m. performance tomorrow, I am debating whether I want to make a reservation. Four actors, one of whom, Debby H was at one point a pretty good friend of mine, another, Jon H, I knew somewhat casually during the eighties---he is a really exceptional actor---I should really try to see everything that he is in.
  Will I do it? Not sure, will report soon.
