Spent most of the day working on tax prep. Almost done with DOG/DOE statements. Gross sales exceeded $17K.
Had call from Jim Savage founder of Green Build LLC a new venture working on hemp-lime construction materials. Expect to have conversation sometime next week.
More work on getting ready for taxes. Trip to Albany to meet with UAlbany students. Jan there too. Raining and cold.
Walked over to university art gallery. Current show: The Ties That Bind: Artists and Archives.
Most striking is Shane Aslan Selzer’s images in B&W. One image bleeding into the next always preserving elements of the earlier in the succeeding. Here is a sequence grabbed by iPhone from the video.

Using the library’s internet wi-fi Sunday morning.
Spent most of day cleaning the house. Vacuumed and washed second floor. Moved furniture out of downstairs in preparation for opening DOG.
Moved wing chair to breakfast nook for a comfortable place to read while DOG is in operation. Karen liked this as much for not having to hump that chair up the stairs and into our bedroom. Need to find a little table to set next to chair for coffee rest.

Our local program, Perfect Ten for teen girls held a fundraiser (Saturday 3/21/15 at Hudson Opera House) for their trip to Washington DC coming up in April.
The girls of Perfect Ten have been dreaming and working for peaceful resolutions. They believe that if you work hard enough on the things you believe in, dreams become reality. They want to see an end to bullying, hurtful arguing and unnecessary conflicts. As they practice peaceful resolutions they are folding 1,000 cranes for peace to bring to Washington DC.
More information and an opportunity to donate is on their site:

Went to gym at 7:30 am. Hope to get this into a routine. More work on tennis exercises.
