Tuesday
Departed West Palm Beach noon, arrived Newark, quick pick up by parking lot van, arrived HUDSON before 5pm
Rainy beginning and another breakfast at Burger King.
Then, off to the Perez Museum of Art to catch the new African American exhibition. Took better pictures Carlos Estevez’ work Permanent Battle….
This explication is clearly wrong….

Drive to Flo’s house in Delray Beach.

Delayed a day by a snow storm in the Midwest, Karen and Linda arrived back from their soutern jaunt at Albany Airport at ~10pm.
Missed my tennis night.
Linda arrived barely walking and very nauseous. Either too many drugs or too few??? She wanted to go to a hotel rather than drive back to Hudson. I drove back to Hudson with her lying in the back seat periodically throwing up. Got her in bed…..
Saw a do-it-yourself video about a drop down work bench. Remembered there is a 60 x 36 table top in the barn. This will do just fine. Need to get piano hinges and other hardware. Also started adding a new light over door to factory that will come on with a motion detector.
Talked with Seth. Went over to meet with Luca ??, the young guy Seth has doing odd jobs. Chatted with him about plans he has to take a year off from college. Gave him the task of finding some healthcare logistics firms to handle our biometric devices.
Tennis with Ted mid afternoon. Played well.
In the evening I went to the library for a concert, Music in the Stacks, given by Aston Magna.
The Schubert song cycle Die Schoenberg Mullerin was a forty five minute extravaganza of twenty poems about nature and lost love. Sung by a tenor Frank Kelly who had memorized the whole thing. Here is section of one poem as an example:
Everything was played on period instruments or reproductions of period instruments as in the forte piano.
The natural horn was amazing but also disconcerting with its muffled sound when the hand in the bell was used to change pitch.
