September 2nd - The magic Flute

September 2nd – The Magic Flute


Yes, indeed, Mozart. On Lincoln Plaza, right opposite the Met, they showed the Metropolitan Opera Performance of this opera on a (HD) huge screen, outdoors in other words. It was truly magical.

The weather at the moment is very hot again, which means the evenings are wonderful. They had set up a bunch of chairs, but many people spilled over onto the ground, sitting, lying, with beach chairs and snacks. It was very quiet and the sky awesome. What an experience.

I am on my fifth book, gotta get a kindle, I can’t keep getting more books. Here,in NYC, I read in the subway, as does everyone else.
I love the subway, ever heard that before? Oh sure, peoples worst character traits come out and what happens above ground does not match up to what happens underground. But niceties too. There are still guys in this world today who get up and give me their seat!
But what I mean is the movement of the subway. If you ever had a Trager treatment, you know what I mean. It shakes gently, rocks your body (except when it stops) and gives your nervous system a gentle work-over. I always feel there is nothing like “being moved”, as in a massage or any other body work.

Today I wore a kobalt blue shirt and without exaggeration, received at least 5 compliments that I looked great…..(was it the blue or me or both?) I am feeling good, so it’s a match!

Still (again) struggling with my sugar intake, I pray I see a way out of that And consequently, my weight. 5 pounds over, gotta get rid of that.

David is coming today,I am grateful and oh so tired of doing everything alone.
We will have 6 days together before we go back to Austin, looking forward to it. Of course we will be spending time with Sarah as well.

Something is up with people I am meeting. Typically I would say, something is up with me, which I think is in fact the case.
I seem to have not much tolerance for any form of disrespectful behavior. The irony of that does not escape me, being here in New York,I guess here in the city it easily comes out and also, it is allowed.
But it goes deeper than that. I have developed a sensitivity for toxic behavior in a way I never knew before.
Well, lots to say about that, for another time.
