Saturday
7/9/2019 – Karen’s birthday, tennis
Tuesday
The Hostess cupcakes, our traditional birthday cake, seems to be shrinking with each passing year. Maybe the next birthday will require 4.
Skipped morning UTMH meetings. Drove to The School in Kinderhook for a private viewing of the galleries. There was a documentary of 1 hr 20 minutes on Basquiat’s life. We watched 30-40 minutes.
Lunch at Cascades.
Doubles tennis at Total Tennis. Played quite well. But, more important, for the first time in weeks felt physically energetic and buoyant.
6/19/2019 – 42nd Wedding Anniversary, work
Wednesday
UTMH meetings with Seth and others. David sent a picture of the top of his head after more cancer surgery. TMI!!
Went to C’amea for dinner. Karen dviided the 42 years into a couple of subsections. 13 years with kids in and around the house. 29 years not. Beginning of her sabbatical in 1991.
6/8/2019 – Nyla, MOTH
Saturday
Drove to NYC, picked up Jeannette, then to The Tank, 312 W. 36th. to see Nyla participate in the city-wide Moth story telling for teens. We had gone weeks earlier to see her perform in her Moth class performance. Nyla was the first presenter. She was terrific. 
We sat in a bar next door for an hour chatting.

4/20/2019 – HAL BoT meeting, drive to Philadelphia, Noah dances….
Saturday
Cold continues to hang in there. Breakfast at Bob’s.
Just a quorum at 8. Waiting to get started at 10:15 am.
Board of Trustees meeting upstairs in the Senior Ctr. Introduced and got approval for new Fundraising Committee. Emily gave her illustrated annual report. As always very good. Positive numbers and results galore. The slide that listed all of the organizations with whom the library collaborated during the year is especially startling. 
Left to go to Philadelphia at 12:30pm. Caught up with Nyla and Andrea outside the church where the Iron Gate Theater is located around 4pm. Aliyah, daughter of ???, who is attending Howard U. was also there. Talked, gabbed, Nyla did homework. Noah showed up for a few minutes. 
Then, less Noah we had dinner at Baby Blues BBQ. Food not very good.
Over the top salsa dance program. Lots of lights, sound, action…. audience screaming… quite a surprising new activity for Noah. Show began at ~8:30 ended at ~10:30pm.
We stayed at Hilton at Penns Landing. Had drinks and a snack at bar. Noisy ac system in room.
