two weeks later--body somewhat having problems with most recent infusion. Felt good afterwards---a little loopy as usual but good enough to work two sessions---Friday not bad also---ended up at the Geffen lobby and heard Schumann's 3rd Symphony---an amazing piece. The 4th and next to the last movement seems almost written by another musical mind, but for some reason, the 3rd movement kept resonating with me.
Yesterday I had hopes for a movie and possibly some "hang out" time at my friend's bar, but it did not happen. After a morning of reading in the Lincoln Center Library, I was tired---not much energy for the rest of the day. At the library I read Tanner's essay on Hamlet---amazing how he pulls together all the contrasting strands in Hamlet's character and the play itself. I left feeling very stimulated---I love reading that book---but I can only take his take on one play at a time.So there should be much more to read. As the evening moved in, I thought it might be possible to see the second act of Hamlet in the park----I had seen the first act 5 weeks earlier and admired it---but I was tired--I wandered around Amsterdam between 84th and 79th---full of people---what seemed like an endless amount of couples--then just returned home. Today, much at the mercy of my what I think is an over-medicated body so I have just walked around the neighborhood. Still the evening to come---I want to leave the apartment and go somewhere--a possible free Shakespeare performance in walking distance---maybe, but who knows?
The week begins tomorrow and I think I have three sessions---should keep me busy, and I am sure my body will cooperate---I had hoped that in my free time this summer, I could return to the voyages and something resembling the life that I had in the summer of 19, but so far that has not been possible. My friends in Brooklyn will see me---but i have to reach out---and somehow I am not doing that. Also, my energy level is so different. Will I return to Cobra club or Starr bar at some point? Hard to say---if my body can come around---well, we will see.
