Diversions
I just did my 6.7 mile run in the incredible humidity. I was NOT dressed for it, but managed to keep myself going. The park was swarming with people today–Spring is really here. I always remind myself that there are probably a million people living with a mile of that park and that outdoor space is at a premium–plenty of expensive large homes have no outdoor space. So begins another season of sharing the park with many people doing many activities.
Meanwhile, the lines at the fish stand at the greenmarket have reached new heights, but the line goes fast and 15 minutes isn’t SO long. There are plenty of dogs and kids and moms and neighbors to eavesdrop on talk to. I’m having company for dinner in a couple of weeks and I used the time to figure out what kinds of food I’m going to serve…tasty…easy…seafood, cheese…couscous. Something.
I’m running out to go see August: Osage County. I don’t know the last time I saw a show or movie that lasted over three hours. But it’s supposed to be diverting and I am ready to be diverted on this warm humid afternoon. Go! Divert yourselves!

My best friend Gregg lives 2 blocks up from Central Park on the side where the tennis courts are. I have no idea how the park is laid out, but he’s been absolutely dying for the courts to open, since he’s an avid tennis player. You’re right, everyone is waiting to escape their apartments!

Oooh…I’m jealous that you’re going to see that play. I’ll be anxious to hear how you liked it. Tracy Letts is a really good writer.

I’m glad that I got to see it after avoiding it because of the length. It really kept my attention for the whole three hours.
