HAL Board of Trustees mtg and annual meeting. Elected President.
Tennis w Ted at Old Chatham Tennis. 1 1/2hrs. Not returning with enough depth. Ball is also floating. He won two sets 6-2, 6-4. Still, good exercise.
Drinks at Ted and Anne’s house. Two hours. Fun.
Late, sluggish start. Emails to Nick Zirpolo and Torrey about adult learning
Coffee with Julia Back at Cafe Le Perche. HAL board member. Ozzie. Runs marathons. Marketing events for an OpenSource software company. Very interested in anything to do with fundraising. Sharp. Lives at 421 Warren St.
Spent bulk of day reading and writing about adult learners. Responded to Nick Zirpolo, Torrey and a Lithuanian academic.
Nap. HAL Exec Commitee mtg at Miranda Barry’s house. Mostly budget talk.
Walking home from Union St. mtg.
Karen is off to writing event in Rhinebeck. I had Red Chopstick food.
Lots of nonsense round the Gayle Gendron mess. David wants immediate action; Seth equivocates.
Took more pictures of comparable houses in the assessment issues. They seem inappropriate in our situation. Part of the problem is our classification as a commercial property..
Tennis lesson at 2:30 as usual. Long half speed ralleys., lot5s of volley practive at the net. Finally lots of work on the spin serve. Finished on return of serves.
Late breakfast. More research about adult learning models. Transformational learning.
Walked to PO w Karen.
More crap about Gayle Gendron. She called WW and accused him of going behind her back to Seth. David is ready to part company but wants to involve a lawyer. Told him that was unnecessary. Seth is equivocating. trying to get commitment from Brandon about support and training responsibilities.
Walking back home:
Looked at city re-assessment documents. The comparables don’t make sense. Set up appointment with GAR Associates.
Wrote part of a posting about learning strategies on AD.
Tennis doubles at Total tennis. Played very well, especially serve. Tossing the ball high. Then discovered on the way home that I had left my phone at TT. Drove abck. Building left unlocked. No phone. Went home and look on iPad with Find My Phone app. It was opposite St. Jospeh’s Catholic Church on Spring St. in Catskill. After some calls to Paul Ambrose found out it was at Steve Horniak’s house. Drove over and retrieved it at 10 pm.
UTMH – Spoke with Sam M about his sales work. Progress is slow. Asked him to send a weekly summary. Team meeting at 11 was chaotic and filled with re-hashings of the mess created during the install of Wexelman and Darby on the test server. Bad decision to do that. Gayle has to go. She is abrasive, pig headed, just plain difficult.
Spoke with Seth further about Gayle. Then Brandon about his taking over implementation and training.
More research about self-directed learning.
Got Chad WAeckler reconnected to various Hudson-Creative accounts,
David A. called about Gayle.
Tennis at Total Tennis. Played 3 sets with a guy named Paul as partner. Won all three sets. Served well. Mixed results on volleys.
Weight 231. Need to cut out all eating outside of the house.
Worked on re-writing facilities use contract for the library. Meet with Seth to watch him train Gayle Gendron on the set up of new customers. Slow, frustrating. In the end she is such an obstructionist…. perhaps Brandon can take on this role. Time to cut losses.
Walked back and forth to Seth’s office. Very nice weather ~ 48 degrees.
Dave Drake drove me over to pick up the car at Wards Auto.
Went by tennis courts at the school. One net up and kids playing. Spring must be upon us.
Talked with Torrey for 45 minutes. Ended with discussion of adult learning models. My AD learning project. The Cycle of Excellence – deliberate practice.
via Skype.
Dinner – leftover chicken, salad and coleslaw with mushed cauliflower with cheese.
Woke up to 3 inches or so of slushy snow.
Mostly lazed around. Karen started cooking around 2pm. Seemed to occupy the whole afternoon. She follows recipes.
David Drake came at 4:30 with new acquaintance Hazel (last name ??). We drove over to Ward’s Auto on 9 to drop off the Corolla for repairs. Dinner followed. Hazel is 73, lives in Athens near her kids and grandchildren. Twice married. Worked for doctors following time in Kingston with second husband with a string of restaurants.
