Meredith gave us Christmas decoration many years ago. Rediscovered in barn while searching for decorations. New battery brought this one to life.
Went to Dan Region art show here. No one there…. open door…looked around….left.
Vico forgot about making their eggnog. But, it turned out to be a fortuitous error. Bruce from BCB Art gave us two gallons of cider. Didn’t open them. Not more than 25 people made it down to our end of the street. Closed at 7:45pm. Watched first episode of Season 4 of Homeland.
Went for first physical therapy appointment for shoulder at CMH rehab on Fish & Game Rd. A revelation. The physical therapist Anna Marie Zietsman manipulated my shoulder to very positive immediate effect. Leaning, pushing, straps…… Left shoulder is pinched in slightly, probably compensating for the lack of mobility. Will have further sessions. Also showed me how my standing posture could be better.
Lunch at Mexican Radio with HAL Exec. Comm.
UTM meeting with Paul Czajka, District Attorney, and Ed Moore, Hudson Chief of Police. Very good meeting. Moore especially can see uses for the technology. Focused on communications between dispatcher and cars.
Went to Dine Rite Dinner out by CCGC. Just opened. Very good food. $30 for the two of us. Mix of Middle Eastern and Caribbean cuisines. Open for breakfast.
Off to Walmart w Karen to buy Xmas decorations for gallery. Saw these air hockey games…. memory of same game in 1975-76 at Christmas at house at 254 Western Ave. Torrey & Jane arrived in a wild snow storm with a fire raging across Hoyt Field on River St. Jane beat everyone at air hockey. She has no memory of this epic event.
Ed, Meredith, Maggie???
Now hanging on the wall in the office.
Ready for Winter Walk… across the street. 5:04 pm
After breakfast and the NYTimes, walked down to river then up alley to look at David Brown’s new house there. Talked with Joe about the birds living in his backyard and the hawk lurking about. Continued up the alley identifying as many of the buildings with regard to their Warren St. presence. On the way back down Warren ran into Joe again. He spoke of living in his condo at the end of the alley on Front St. Noisy neighbors. Plans to move to Eureka CA.
A scene of street art from Melbourne.
Not more than 8 people in gallery. Made butternut squash and chickpeas stew. Leftover chicken and brussel sprouts in mustard sauce.
First meeting of Program Committee: Gwen Gould, Miranda Barry, Ann Rosenthal, Carole Round, Emily C.
Very active conversation and good strategic and values thinking. Ann will chair.
seen on Warren St. – near corner of 3rd St.
Met with Jeanne Pierce, PA at CMH. Low on personality, brief, not chatty, OK. Examined my left shoulder and suggested a round of Naproxen. Not much else.
Drinks at Spotty Dog with Sherry Jo and Pauline.

Karen and I went for a walk up Warren and back down State. Stopped at the Columbia County Council on Arts show at the Galvan building, part of the former Van Kleeck Tire complex.
CC Council Arts Arts Walk Exhibition
On our way down State St. we came to the new linear park that runs over to Warren St across from the Hudson Opera House. We had earlier noted how unfriendly this is: “Accessibility in New Linear Park“.
When we reached the ramp system, we found a large array of Facebook comments on 8.5×11 pinned to the fence. Not clear who the author is.
