1/29/2020 – web project, work, tennis

Wednesday 

Spent too much time working with a plugin to add tables of contents to web pages here and on AmericanDelusions. Decided in the end to drop it here because of a conflict with Timeline. Also talked with Karen about my spreadsheet of travel events. She added some I had forgotten back in the early ‘70s.

FaceTime with kids in Leiden

Met with Erin Marshall and Ryder Cooley at UTMH. Lengthy discussion of document standards and user roles and permissions. Have asked Troy Web for a roles and permissions matrix. They should be able to produce this easily. 

Seth and I talked with SOMML. After what seems to be more than a year of preparatory work they have actually started to sign up patients at Albany Med. Also spoke with David about upcoming meeting with CEO candidate Leon Greene next week.

Rare completely clear sky behind the Catskill Mountains on the way to tennis about 5:30pm.

Doubles at Total Tennis. Played quite well excepting serve which featured way too many double faults. Left knee bothered me towards the end of the session.

7/2/2019 – work and tennis

Tuesday

UTMH team meeting. Meeting at NYRWA to move project to next phase. Invoice UTMH. 

Tennis lesson with Saif at 4pm. Lots of work on  ground strokes, especially proper follow through with arm. Wrist bothering me more especially trying overheads. Good work on tossing the ball higher on serve. Still have not found the grove.

Waited around until 5:45 for the first of the doubles guys to show up. Once again got stuck with George and Henry because they show so early. Dreadful first set. Last set was competitive. Ted and I against Joe and George. BUT, not so smart to schedule a lesson before two hours of doubles. I was dead.

Joe and Paul announced that Bill Zvoboda had entered hospice. We took a group photo to send to him.
