3/23/2019 – breakfast, farmers market, travel photos, art opening

Saturday

Late breakfast at Bob’s. Whitney and Steve were there. Karen and I talked about a road trip in September. Went to Walmart. Karen arranged for my first shot of the new anti-shingles vaccine.

Worked on the photos from the Sicily trip in 2018. Over 1,400 from this Netherlands-Sicily trip in October. The iPhone time stamps and the camera time stamps are slightly out of synch causing troubles with the sequencing.

Went to art opening in late afternoon at Hudson Opera House. Too many people. Stopped at Red Dot for a drink and appetizers.

On the way home ran into Michael O’Hara outside his house. We stood over the construction site next door.Just as I noticed that the first floor joists are attached to a ledger board instead of sitting on top of the foundation Michael said that the contractor had poured the wall 18” too high. What a mess. Then Michael told the story of how the original building had collapsed because they had dug down 2 feet below the bottom of the original stone foundation. The clay subsoil gave way causing first a side wall then the front wall to slip in under the building. Big SNAFU. So far this is not an advertisement for competence on the part of the architect owners nor the contractors.

Watched the fourth in the Kavanaugh Q.C. British TV series from the mid ‘90s. Followed by another VEEP.

Saturday- 11/19/2016

Breakfast at Bob’s Diner. Talked about future of DOG. Shopping. Felt very sluggish. Hung up more pictures  

Board meeting at HAL. 7 new people on the Board. Must get list. Talked with Carol Pledger about volunteers. 

When I left library the Community Room was jammed with kids and parents. This for the Parents Academy program that just yesterday at the Program Committee mtg. was described as having trouble recruiting participants. Amazing. 

Back home the gallery was open. Very few visitors. Then  at 5 for the opening a bunch of people showed up for the opening. Suddenly at about 6:45 the people evaporated. Took two artists to train station. 

Dinner then watched more of The Fall series. Maybe too intense and violent. img_4304 img_4305 img_4306 img_4307 img_4309

Wednesday – 12/2/2015 – new office completed, UTM, art opening CGCC

Up early. In office by 8:15 am. Still searching out solutions for problems with Macbook connecting with wifi. Other devices work well, but laptop has trouble connecting and varying speeds. From web search it is clear that my model, late 2013 13″ MBPR is a troubled model with regard to wifi.

Overly long telecon with UTM. Angie Keefer continues to be disciplined and quite good. Ole a bulldog. Seth defensive.

Did other nits. Set up physical therapy appointment for tomorrow at 7:30am.

Final paint on desktop in office. All work now done.

2pm UTM mtg at One City Centre with Seth and Ole to go over presentation to MHM law firm. Ole still doesn’t have details of how things work in his mind. Spole with Brandon Lachterman, send him invoice for work to date.
