Tooth appointment at 8am. Discussions of the loose tooth. First mention that an implant might be possible. Cost?? Usefulness??

Ellen Feldman spent most of the day working with Karen on various projects.

Drove meandering through Catskill. It really has a better housing stock of the old buildings than Hudson.

UTM telecon with Vilat Keomoungkhoun from IndoorAtlas. They seem not to have any capacity to develop apps to actually use their IPS services. Big opportunity for us. He is meeting with Cintel in Barcelona next week and will show our app to them. Yahoo in mid-March. Knows other opportunities including Simon Group biggest shopping mall owner in US. Seth and Ole participated.

Final work on HAL volunteer website. Went to library to talk with Emily. Ran into Theresa Parsons, her step-son, a psychotherapist,  and his two little boys.

Karen went off to meetings in Saugerties. Arrived back at 9:30 or so. Had Chinese food from Red Chopsticks. Couldn’t eat but half.

Felt kind of buzzed for the rest of the day. 

Worked on Fundamentals of Capitalism essay for Jonathan. Also more work on UTM marketing strategy. 

Brief walk up the street.

Wide pine boards being as;caged from Savoia bldg.

Up promptly – in car and out of Belmont by 7:40am. Back to Hudson by 10:30.

Promised teleconference with UTM evaporated.

Long talk with Brigid Dorsey about her business. She has come around on her own to the need to raise funds from friends and network. Has reached out to Joe Keenan and his daughter Lauren to help with a crowdfunding campaign.

Watched more of the British TV series- The Shadow Line.  Trouble getting to sleep. Need to be up at 5:30 tomorrow to get to hospital for cataract surgery at 6:30am.

Sunday – 2/5/2107

at Ryles.

Brunch with the regular crew at Ryles in Inman Square. Got confused about where I was headed, kept trying to drive to Davis Sq. The pull of the long history of brunches at now defunct Johnny D’s probably. Arranged not to sit near Ruth Goodman. Talked mostly with Michael Beach and Edie Bresler, new love interest for Cindy Weisbart.

Lunch with Paul and Ruth Richards at Paddy’s in West Newton

Super Bowl

Very exciting game during the last quarter. Improbable outcome.


Vertigo continues especially getting up in the middle of the night.

Left for Cambridge for Super Bowl weekend at 12:30. Arrived at Esther’s house then to movie.
