Lunch with SS. The perils of the Bohemian life. Suddenly recalled my time with dinner theater at the Hotel Syracuse. For a while I lived quite dangerously. 

Men’s Chorus rehearsal last night. Same discouraging music, but a spirited evening among convivial friends, which I enjoyed. There may be a way through this. 

A homeless man entered during rehearsal. I rose to see him out. No aggression at all, he was like a hungry puppy. I felt intense shame that I didn’t have my wallet and consequently no money to give him. Under all the grime– and one missing tooth– he was movie star handsome. How do things happen the way they do?

Email stating that the guy who sat next to me in SC tested positive for Covid.
