Rich’s, E. 90th St., pt. 2.

Second Ave. Goodbyes to those going elsewhither. 5MS with Mike W., U’ses, the two men named דן and briefly वीणा/ವೀಣೆ. דן װ.‏ pointed out an attractive young gay man on the dance floor and said he’d be right up my alley, mostly because he’s gay and was standing in front of me. דן T. knocked over his beer demonstrating how easily his shirt can be pulled open due to its magnetic buttons. Disagreement with him over whether women and men have equally strong sexual drives.

37th Rd. construction mural (3400–02).

Chocolate‐frosted mini doughnuts and berry chocolate and magic trail mix from DR, 37th Ave.

Returned to 37th Ave. at night to look in multiple shops for a condolence/sympathy card and finding none (but seeing the handsome सागर/সাগর worker through his window) and so ultimately returning to DR (20:04) to purchase an expensive (four‐dollar) one. There I saw a fairly pudgy looking إشتياق, and Kl’d (504) was my cashier who told me his “crush” had just left the shop.
