its windy outside, and the rain is expected. Not the best day to go out, yet I have been out several times. My stomach, which has been pretty spare for the last few days, has, for some reason, decided that it could eat everything that existed---so I have been out buying things in small doses. But here I am, in the apartment, and here I will stay, I guess, for the rest of the day. Could be worse---couldn't it?
Saw a performance of Apollo, by Balanchine, that is streaming over the New York City Ballet web site. I have not seen the ballet in a while--I marvel at the way Balanchine created the steps--his whole concept. Of course, from the years 68 to about 81, City Ballet was a major part of my life, I went often, sometimes three out of four performances in a weekend--I knew all the major ballets. They are part of my past---I have not been to a performance in about 11 years, for one reason because the theater is named after David Koch. But also, the memories of that time might be too intense---some of these ballets are almost like people I had relationships with---do I want to go back to that feeling. I was impressed with how much the audience loved the performance---they seemed to be with them completely, so I guess the company now really has a following (this performance was from 2019) I will probably return to the web site to check out a few other ballets that they are streaming in the next few weeks. It won't hurt.
Not much else---even a short walk today (to 83rd and Amsterdam) was invigorating. But I suppose I will stay in for the rest of the night. Will report soon.
