Tuesday – 11/1/2011

Drove to Boston to meet with Anthony Mancini at Bernstein. Big outcome is the need to look into Medicaid planning.

Had dinner with Ruth and Paul Richards in Needham. Food not very good. Conversation ok if predictable.

Stayed at Esther Hanig’s pad. Loud TV. Lots of ads we don’t usually see.

Wednesday – 11/2/2011

Took Karen to Griffin Museum for her class. Long drive down 93 to Mass Ave then down Washington Sts and Hyde Park Ave to Sprague St. and meeting with Mike Beach and Peter Flowers.

Mike’s mother had died the night before. Talked about mothers and death for a while. Then we looked at some of their recent work including photo laden process documentation for some transducers. Pete arrived late and I left early. Assume Mike really needed to get on with his personal stuff.

Visited Honan Alston Public Library. Took lots of pictures and talked with Librarian about this ten year old building. Very attractive, airy open floor plan. Some down sides but mostly a successful space.

Drove over to Cambridge for lunch with Linda Larson. Fixed little things on her computer until Karen showed up. Lunch at the Dolphin Restaraunt. Good foods. Linda talked as always. Plans with Karen for trip to NYC in January.

Went to New Balance store. Bought annual new sneakers and a pair of wind pants for outdoor running. Must try to run outdoors until much colder.

Stopped at Trader Joe’s to stock up on simmer sauces and other canned goods…waiting for Esther to arrive to go out to dinner. Karen is at Soup Group.

NO ENTRIES after these for month.
