Breakfast at Bob’s – very bad shopping experience at Price Chopper. They have moved everything around and then we used self-checkout machines. Voices speaking before and after every transaction…….
Matt Almeida at 11:45am
HAL Program Committee mtg at library at 12:30. Extremely competent thoughtful group. Plans for outreach meetings to community individuals, then organizations. Gwen Gould, Ann Rosenthal, Miranda Barry, Emily Chaimeides.
Worked on taxes and then office in barn.
Woke up at 4:30 am. Decided that today was a good day to tell UTM, David and Seth, that my days with them are over at the end of the year. Got to bring this engagement to an end.
When I signed on formally with UTM in March 2014 you were aware of my involvement as a founder with my brother Ed in a start up medical devices company, Prescient Medical Devices, LLC (PrescientMedicalDevices.com). For a number of reasons we had put the development of the company on pause while we addressed some IP issues. This made it possible to make a commitment to UTM for a year which was the time frame we talked about at that time.
PMD is now restarting. My brother is making presentations to investors and we expect that these will be fruitful. This means that I need to position myself to focus most of my energies on PMD by the latest January 2016.
I suggest that we move the project of finding a sales/marketing person on to the front burner. You may have other priorities. Lets talk about how I can be most helpful.
Thanks,
Felt immediate relief from taking this step despite the deceptive statements about PMD. Nothing new is happening as far as I know on that front.

No heat. Waiting on plumber Ihlenburg.
Went to Belvedere Home Healthcare in Albany for UTM meeting. Good meeting gathering requirements. They will conduct a survey of potential users.
Back to Hudson for HAL Exec Comm lunch at Mexican Radio. Followed by mtg with David Murphy, Betsy Miller and T Parsons about upcoming hard hat tours of Armory for high rollers. Then, at 3pm meeting with Ann Rosenthal about her role as Chair of Program Committee. Smart, energetic, engaged…. big plus for library.
While Karen taught her online course I went to Bell’s Pint Nite at The Spotty Dog. After chatting up the regional sales rep for Bells I was given a Bell’s Pint glass. Also had good chat with Sherrie Jo Williams and Pauline DeCarmo and a couple of their friends.
