early morning blues..

I write this before 7A.M. Never have done this before. For the last two days, my body was tired, this morning, I feel I am shot out of a cannon. What's the occasion? Well, the plan is that in about an hour I will leave the apartment, walk to the 72nd street subway, and take the train to 14th street. There, I will either walk or take the bus two blocks and find my bank the "great" Amalgamated Bank,  and get on line to make a deposit. Why should something as simple as that evoke in cityboy such great energy, which is really a kind of anger Well, the deposit is necessary to back up an important check, and the bank is only open, during the lockdown, on Mondays and Fridays starting at 9. Amazing! This is a full service bank, with many customers in NYC, and all they can give their customers is two days. So if they open at 9, why am i leaving at 7:50. Because I want to get there at 8:10, or close to that, so that I can be near (if not first) in the line.  That means about 50 minutes in the street where the temperature is near 50, but chilly. Two weeks ago, I got there about 8:25, only to find myself 7th in line. These customers know their stuff. and even if the first hour has been granted only to senior citizens, I am sure I will not be alone (for long). So there you have it. I have been up since 4, maybe earlier, anger fueled, but to my surprise, the energy has been strong. Still about 40 minutes to go---let's see how it plays out.
    Not much else to report. Last two days I have been rather self-sufficient. Yesterday played theater trivia produced by Theater Mania. Out of 60 questions, must have gotten about 45. Of course, that would not have put me near the winning team. The "hosts" (if you want to call them that) are two
musical comedy performers (they both have Broadway credits). I wish I could tell you that I like them, but the two are so self-indulgent that often I am shouting back at the computer: "Shut up, already!" Well meaning as they may be, they seem to be so in love with everything they say.  Still, if you can sift through their "genius" some of the questions are challenging.
  I think we will leave it for now. Tomorrow, Saturday is predicted to be very cold for this time of
year. (real feel 40's). That should be great for the "stay at home" crowd, but for me, it probably means
less walking time. I still want to check out the designated spaces where traffic has been shut
off so citizens can walk, but have not been able to do that yet. Maybe this weekend.
