Up early for a busy day. Sadie and I walk to Washington Square. The park is quiet; birds chirp, butterflies dart across the grass. A young man perches atop a bench playing a flute. The lawns are littered with bodies of winos still sleeping– lying face down, sprawled on their backs, curled fetaly– scattered like casualties of a war. Back home, Allan is up and we visit over coffee. A shower and head uptown for a couple of hours in the office. Easy does it, but do it. Take it easy. Next week is going to be monstrous; I must go through it composed and efficient. I was back home by 2– I napped briefly, watched part of The Thin Man on television, and went to the laundromat.
