more relaxed because I did not have to wait for a phone call from Friends this morning, and deal with the "readiness" of it, but more so, because I had a terrific time with my friend Joe, another teacher at Friends, when we met for a beer and some food last night. It had been a long day--two sessions, with an hour and a half in between (tough) but we met at Grill on the Hill, an amiable place on 140th and Amsterdam, and talked for about a little over an hour. Conversation flowed really well---I felt relaxed and easy---just a very nice mix. Joe left around 7:30 to join some friends for a Trivia game downtown, I could have stayed around and see if I could have joined one of Grill's trivia teams (they were also having a trivia evening) or watched two or three interesting basketball games that were on the TV's. but very quickly after Joe left, I crashed, and decided it was best to head home. Did stop off at a Greek Diner for coffee and a muffin, but then returned home. It's interesting, I had tried Grill on the Hill shortly after it opened, about a year and a half ago, did not have a bad time, but felt they were a bit disorganized---things seemed to be much better yesterday, the bartenders were very easygoing, the place had a warm vibe about it--might return by myself sometime soon.
One session today, so I should not be too fatigued afterwards---no excuse for not doing something tonight. Might try to see Marriage Story in Brooklyn---did not want to plan in the morning, so just means playing it by ear. Anything could happen, will report soon.
