Documentation

I began around 8pm on September 22.  Well, actually, it all started in June, but the assignment of this evening was to record all that came before.  To resurrect notebook scrawls and gather up the photos and write a synposis for everything created each day this summer.  The target time was 5:04am EDT, the time of the autumnal equinox, on September 23, the day of my birth.

Instead, I made from the 21st of June through the mid-August, typing summaries and assigning plausible but invented times for each entry.  I love a good equinox but I went to bed at 2am without finishing.  Then I made it to work.

Tap dance

After our phone and computer network was disrupted in the office, Jennie Wasserman showed me a tap dance move called trenches, and Genevieve Stewart taught me a shuffle-ball-change combination.

Characters

I made a mad-dash effort to capture the man on 60th street with the handful of balloons.

I encoded and decoded a message using the rail fence method learned in cryptography class last week.

Ambuchy

I learned my grandmother was in the hospital.  While she's ok, I made a plan to see her.  That's my lady.

Light

I made an important, long overdue purchase that will hopefully fill my living room with the light of the blazing sun.

With Rebecca Bliss, we made a rueda and danced Cuban-style salsa.  Because everything is better in a circle.

In the City

I made a New York day for my Jersey-based mother.  Lunch at 'wichcraft, rehearsal with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and a grocery expedition to Zabar's and Fairway.

Cooking

I took a cooking class at Astor Center downtown and left having chopped celery with optimal knife motions, dissected a raw pepper, trussed a chicken, cut up its limbs, assembled a strata, and made a pan sauce.
