Lobby memorandum (5255).
37th Ave. (5256–60). Was that تاجور I passed who was going south on 74th and then west on 37th thus possibly heading to DR? Bag salad, salame cotto, hot dogs and cheese ends from FD (16:15) (5256–57). Okay manager was there. S. Asian police officer thought I was acting suspicious and inquired why I recorded video of اپنا بازار (5260), but it turned into a friendly chat involving memories of سبزی ਮੰਡੀ.
Bry. was going upstairs as I was coming down, and he asked me how it was hanging.
GA DA at Madison Sq. Pk. after having walked from E. 14th St. {Not stopping at the stop I want.} Despite my being late, virtually no one was there. वीणा/ವೀಣೆ recommended we move to another table and שמואל chose to sit next to me, so he still likes me. H’rry told us Μαρία was recovering at home from a knee problem. Frank somewhat humorously referred to me as stabbing ש. in the back, and I said we’d never done that. ש. seemed pleased when told he looked swarthy and that he could pass for Latino, and told us how someone had told him he looked Chinese without his glasses, but he doesn’t seem to grasp why all that would be the case.
My smartphone ran out of power as I was trying to check into Ch’ll, E. 28th St. Er’c C. joined us there. Jon. 🌓 ordered soup. He mentioned that Br’dy had voted for Trump in 2016, and when I said I would likely do so in 2020, B. broke out in a big smile, gave me a firm side hug and referred to my having “walked away.”
We briefly went to T’mill, E. 27th St., but the very diminished group and J.’s headache led him and me to leave A’drew and E. behind and go home.
He and I had a nice talk walking up to Grand C’tral sta., but then we stood all the way to JH on the crowded 7. (This was very possibly after midnight, but it was nevertheless a comparatively early night.)
