Wednesday – 1/11/2017

Late start. Snowman has suffered significant melting over night. Angry about mess in house and packing up DOG shipments. Worked on notes from HAL mrktg comm meeting yesterday. Went to library in the afternoon. Got new history of the American revolution, Common Cause. 

Saw Ted Dewsnap and Anne in library. Discovered that I was scheduled to play tennis that night. 

Got to tennis early. 15 minutes of extra warm up. Played very well. Last tennis until the end of February. 

Wednesday – 1/4/2017 – vertigo, snow man melting, and work

Vertigo on waking up. Fell over in bed. Luckily didn’t bang my head. Took several minutes sitting on edge of bed to get going. Looks like more severe type of what I had 25 years ago. Where is Stanley now that I need him again. When I lie prone and hold my head in some positions I get vertigo. Will have to go to doctor about this. 

Took repeated pictures of snowman melting in backyard. 

Met with Seth Lachterman about CMH project. 

Then talked w Anita Harris. 

Tennis at night. 

Ed called. They will come for a visit Sunday.

Bard Conservatory Orchestra: Beethoven’s Leonora Overture; Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra; and Shostakovich Symphony No. 5. We sat in Row H. unusually close to the orchestra. The strings seemed on top of us. The balance was not what I usually like. Next time we will try seats back around Row T.image
