did not see Familiar Touch yesterday. Not enough energy after my visit to Drama Bookstore. Spent about 2 hours there--first reading much of Grover Dale's autobiography and then---after a bout of restlessness, looking closely at The Merchant of Venice. Are the two related...? I doubt it. Dale is one of the last surviving members of the original cast of WSS---the Merchant...? Well, I am fascinated by its structure. Three stories, interwoven. Shylock destroyed---and then forgotten.
The infusion and its fourth day effect tired me---so I returned to the apartment after the Drama Book Store visit. Intermitten naps for the rest of the day---strange when your body tells you what it wants you to do, rather then your telling "it". Finished the free weekend of baseball on the web---sort of had enough of it---and continued to read my English history book.
Today a possible tutoring session--also, planning to pick up my Ostomy supplies from the drug store I go to in Harlem. Interesting trip---the store is on 122nd and 3rd Avenue--I usually take the crosstown bus to 79th and Madison---then wait for the bus that goes north on Madison, all the way to 122 street. Amazing contrast of course, in the two worlds that it covers, but more and more, north of 96, there are signs of gentrification. New library on 125th east of 3rd---might want to check it out. Always feel a sense of "triumph" after I receive the supplies, and embark on my return to my "safe" apartment on the upper west side.
the rest of the day---the sure---early now--lots of time to get through before my journey east,
