Plans


I keep thinking it would be fun to get together, maybe have brunch tomorrow. (Sunday.) 

I wanted to do something Downtownish but I maybe could come Uptown to you if after we could meet a friend of mine coming from yoga who I was going to go to the museum with if that interests you, does that interest you? 

The issue is when. Actually I find I have a 10 am, then a talk I really have to go to at 11 and if I want the speaker to come on my TV show I may talk to her after. 

If I can get out of there (around Houston St.) by 12:30, I thought we could go up to the museum and from there I could take you to lunch at City Bakery, which is at 18th & 5th, which is great and from there go to ABC Furniture for an opening reception of someone I can email you the info in case it interests you, but it is good for me to go because of who is there. 

If I run late we could still have lunch, I’ll go down to the furniture store and give you my ticket to the opening of the Philip Pearlstein exhibition if you have any interest. (I knew Phil Pearlstein and we used to have lunch together in 1975.) 

I could do it as soon as the talk finished, I suppose around 12:15, 12:30, but then I’d be on the west side and could maybe take the A Train but you’re on the 1, aren’t you? 

If tomorrow doesn’t work, let’s plan on Friday with David. 

About that, are you driving out there? 

We could take my car but then I’m getting a ride from David to the airport to fly to LA on Sunday but we could go out together in my car and you could drive my car back or you could drive your own car out there, do you still have your car? and drive me with then just drive home alone but if we took my car you could on the way home also drop off this desk at Saul’s house but you could also drive us out there then drive back to my place to pick up the desk that I have to buy for him at ABC Furniture first, it’s not heavy and drop it off at Saul’s but first I have to give you my keys or I could make you a copy. 

How much time do you need in the morning, should I call and wake you up, what’s your number? 

Have you seen any new movies by chance? Fortune’s Good, Death in a Parking Lot? We could just grab dinner then see a late show or alternately, where do you know for dessert? (Wednesday’s bad, Thursday’s bad.) 

Enjoy furnituring? Know any better places than the Bakery? Also, where do you know that has good cheap desks? 


Also. We should open a bookstore, we should open a bar or café together with a bookstore attached, we should rob a bank/the place you work at/the place you used to work at/which bank, we could start a business writing business plans, my cousin knows a guy who’s starting a new Middle Eastern restaurant and needs waiters who speak Hebrew we should apply, I’m going to drink grapefruit juice for breakfast but when I drink it I’m going to think to myself that I’m drinking orange juice to find out if the juice tastes any different I’ve always wanted to do that, we should start a publishing house and only publish our own books, we need a vacation can you look up ticket prices to Florida, we should move to Berlin I hear it’s inexpensive, Θέλω να σπουδάσουν ελληνικά (“I want to study Greek”), Θέλει μελέτη για την ελληνική (“He/She wants to study Greek”), Θέλουν να σπουδάσουν ελληνικά (“They want to study Greek”), I should buy more than one roll of toiletpaper at a time, I should buy orange juice not by the pint but by the quart, you should go back for your doctorate, we should move Maineward together and have a baby are you around tonight do you have any plans?
