Odd things are afoot in mary's brain..... 
 
Anyway, it's Saturday and it's =gorgeous=, like a spring day in reverse.   
I've already been to the farmer's market in Union Square, and though it's  
not terribly huge, there is about everything you'd want -- even wine from  
the Finger Lakes.  I bought some honey butter, a quart of milk in a  
bottle (if i could save milk in a bottle, the first thing that I'd like  
to do -- is make some great shakes and maybe a cake, and maybe i'd even  
drink it too....), and a bunch of flowers called cockscomb.  They're  
hairy-looking and have an obvious fractal-ness to them. 
 
Ma _should_ be getting power back today. 
 
On the way up to Union Square, I had a deja vu moment.  I was checking  
out some generic asian restaurant (it had some chinese and japanese  
stuff) and saw a good price for sukiyaki.  I've dreamt that before, too.   
I know it's not very profound, but almost all my dreams are of just  
normal life and so these deja vu things come at me from nowhere.  Of  
course, I had that sukiyaki dream long before I thought of coming to New  
York (cue X-files theme in background...) 
 
Went to the ballroom dancing club yesterday, was fun and sweaty.   
Thursday night I went to the Grad/Law Student Club at the Catholic  
Center.  There's an upstairs to the center, where the priests live (and  
the nun, too, I guess), and they've got a _sweet_ pad.  You should see  
their living room.  And they've got a pavilion adjoining, with that nice  
cloistered feeling to it.  And even though all they had was white wine, I  
think they did pretty well. 
 
My battery was about used up.  Too bad I don't have one of those little  
buttons on my side so one can check my energy level.  But now I'm  
energized & ready to roll on down Broadway.  I think I'm even strong  
enough to go into a couple of bookstores or so.  Hmmmmm.
