4/17/20 – Friday – various and list of Zoom meetings

Sent notices out to HAL board. Spent most of morning doing digital housekeeping.

Also time spent learning new things about Notability. Interesting feature of recording a lecture or meeting while making notes. The notes are synced to a time stamp during the recording. So, you can tap on a note and it moves the playback to that point.

Bought lunch at Cascades.

Talked with Kim Bach outside her store Verdigris. She complained about lack of workers to help with her online business. Her part time employees are financially better off on unemployment than coming back to work for her part-time. Continue reading →

7/9/2019 – Karen’s birthday, tennis

Tuesday

The Hostess cupcakes, our traditional birthday cake, seems to be shrinking with each passing year. Maybe the next birthday will require 4.

Skipped morning UTMH meetings. Drove to The School in Kinderhook for a private viewing of the galleries. There was a documentary of 1 hr 20 minutes on Basquiat’s life. We watched 30-40 minutes.

Lunch at Cascades.

Doubles tennis at Total Tennis. Played quite well. But, more important, for the first time in weeks felt physically energetic and buoyant.

Tuesday – 11/8/2016 – Election Day

Meeting with Chad Weckler at CEDC and Michael Tucker about commercial kitchens and Hudson-Creative. Arrived at the end of the meeting due to my calendar entry screw up. Tucker is loud and mostly about his own opinions.

Had coffee afterward with Chad. He told me of space offered to us at 3rd and State.

Drove to NYC. Arrived about 2pm. At MET Breuer – old Whitney. Diane Arbus and Kerry James Marshall.

Took selfies in our regular bench in the stairwell. Horse or fire station entries on E. 82nd St.

Drove over to PioPio restaurant for Nyla’s 14th birthday party. Andrea, Noah, & John too. Very cheery time. 11082016-nyla-bday-1

Back to Hudson in time to watch some of the election returns at Spotty Dog. Went home at about 10. I went to sleep about 11. Woke up at 3am to discover a headline from NYTimes announcing Trump’s victory. Despite my lack of enthusiasm for Hilary C I am distressed.
