Up at 6am. Puttered around aimlessly. Brunch at Home|Made Hudson across the street with Dave Drake. Food only so so.
Tomato cobbler with cheese.
…. long nap in early afternoon. Brief trip to ShopRite. Bumped into Ted as I was leaving. Made gore with hot Italian sausages for dinner. Also a salad with lettuce. Maybe getting into more salads. lots of chewing.
Snow started at 7:30. No walk in the snow because there was nothing underfoot even at 9pm.
Breakfast at Bob’s. Then off to the library for the board meeting and planning retreat.
Meeting went very well. People really enjoyed the group breakout sessions. Productive discussion of board governance issues. Also toured the basement (Lower Level) which was new for most of the board members. Board rejected the idea of a co-presidency in favor of Chairman of the Board and President. I think and stated that if we put together an integrated fundraising committee, then the chair of that committee will take a big load off the president.
Late afternoon went to TSL to see a movie about the Bauhaus school and its impact on architecture, urban planning, etc. A little sleepy during its coverage of the 1920s and 30s. Very interesting stuff about urban design and development in South America. Columbia and Venezuela.
Karen had received a call from Dave Drake that Rive Gauche in Athens where he is bartending is closing today. So, we went over for a drink and nibbles. The place was very crowded and noisy, mostly with locals. As we were getting ready to go Samira ?? Showed up. Karen and she went out to have a smoke accompanied as it turned out by the owner Joe’s SO. When I turned my stool over to Samira I found Karen propped up against the buyilding. One Scotch and a nicotine rush and she had to hang on to me for the walk to the car.
Coffee with Joe Keenan at Rev. Good discussion of his work. Stumbled on ne work he is doing helping companies spec out the best technology to run things, e.g., Slack, Dropbox, Asana, etc. He will develop proposal for UTMH project. Walked home. Warm day. 40 degrees. Matt Almeida at noon.

Karen is worried about the snow storm forecast for Tuesday into Wednesday. Possible impact on our departure.
Trip with Dave Drake to The Clark and Mass MICA. Big exhibit of Japanese wood block prints st Clark. 
Mass MOCA was as usual underwhelming and a bit annoying. It’s part of the contemporary art puffery machinery. Vast spaces and poles of money to support the production of art that is not very interesting one wouldn’t plan a revisit to see any of it.
Lunch with beer at a place in the complex run by a Brian Flach’s brother Danny. 
$30 breakfast at Le Perche. Caught Karen up on UTM matters and phone call with Carol. Spent much of the day working on pictures and paperwork in Factory. Walked up to CVS to pick up Viagra prescription. 10 = $360 even after discount coupon. Ran into David Drake on the street. Dinner at Wunderbar.
Went to corner store for some cereal for Linda. The prominence of sugar is amazing. Who would have thought of Reese’s Puffs?
Up and out to dentist appointment for root canal. Another $1,000 procedure!
The three of us went to the library. Karen to talk with Brenda Shufelt about the replace Peppler print.

Flat TireDave Drake called at 6 to say that he had a flat tire. So we agreed to declare victory and we would get together another time. This left us short spaghetti sauce. Opened freezer, hot sausage into the nuker and 30 minutes later sauce. Karen made garlic bread a la Joy of Cooking. Very good.
