Architecture Lecture at Bard

Dr. Jenny Shaffer presented a lecture entitled “Harnessing the Past to Create the Present: The Multiple Lives of Charlemagne’s Chapel at Aachen, ca. 800-2019″. Lecturer is friends with Ted and Anne. Interesting for its traversal of so much European history.

J. L. Edwards School building

While waiting for the race to get started I walked around this noe empty building. It looks quite small at street level. But it is in fact a four story 1960s concrete pile. May become Hudson city hall and other uses.

9/23/2019 – UTMH and flower bed

Spent most of the morning and early afternoon doing UTMH chores. Shipped new conference backdrop and flyers to Chicago.

Then screwed together boards for first flower bed. Finished digging out the flat spot, leveling the frame, and then back filling with the excavated soil. Off to Lowes for 5 big bags of top soil – 2 cu. ft. Very heavy. Used some of the soil to fill in around the new stairs to the patio. More follow.

Steak for dinner. A rarity. Very good flavors. Cooked on thrill outside. Second time since last Spring. Sat out on action  for smoke afterwards.
