A day of friends

Is it possible to write a blog post that is not full of angst,  or does not challenge me to look back and describe a feeling or event from many years ago?  I guess so because that is the post that I want to write tonight, as the afternoon moves into the evening.  Morning began with the usual restlessness, finally got out around 1:30 and walked north on Amsterdam, stopped for a cup of coffee at a grocery on that block, then headed to Joe the Juice, where I indulged myself with a large strawberry banana shake. Really good. Wandered west to the park on Riverside and 93rd, and then just sat and observed people. Received a text from Tom K, an actor friend of mine who lives in the area. We had texted early in the lockdown, but this was the first I had heard from him since then. Really nice of him to check in; he is a terrific actor in his seventies; he actually was in a play at the Public when the virus struck. I was greatful that he checked in, and will make an effort to stay in touch a little more frequently. So the vibes were good.
  Then my friend Sarah called. She and her husband were visiting his parents in Connecticut, and on the way back they were passing my apartment. Yesterday I had spoke to Sarah about some books that she had, that she might lend to me. In the past few weeks I have done so little reading;I really wanted to get something going away from the computer.   They included a new novel, written by Alex, her husband, another novel, and a book of short stories. Sarah had the books with her, so she and Alex stopped near the apartment and gave me the books (6 feet away, of of course). Then they continued to to their apartment house in Brooklyn--i think that the upper west side was not a stretch for them to stop at, but still, it was really nice of the two of them to make the effort to give me the books now, rather than mailing them to me, which was the original plan. I really was anxious to get into Alex's book so now I can.
  And that is it. Feeling kind of mellow and wanted. What next? Will report soon.
