Wrote overview piece for Hudson-Creative. Then turned to my attention to the Our Situation essays. Started anew writing a letter to Noah and Nyla. Very effective mode for me.

Trip to the corner for NYTimes.

Corner 1st and Warren – Forman House

After breakfast, a walk up Allen – Union, then back down Warren. ~ 2.5 miles.

Walked on the even (North) side of Union St. Had not noticed how large this yellow brick house is. And a bit further up the street, a house that we looked at when we shopping for one in 2009, has a pitch of more than a foot bottom to top. Always though that it was just the porch that is sagging.

Stopped at Damiani Gallery. Sue Chiafullo was there. She is trying to sell her house in Kinderhook and move to Charleston, SC. House is not moving.

No one came to the gallery at all. K. Closed up early at 5pm.

I spent afternoon of and on making beef stew. Ran out of Mr. Robot series. Started third season of The Fall with Gillian Anderson.

Thursday – 12/3/15 – physical therapy – shoulder – HAL – UTM

Went for first physical therapy appointment for shoulder at CMH rehab on Fish & Game Rd. A revelation. The physical therapist Anna Marie Zietsman manipulated my shoulder to very positive immediate effect. Leaning, pushing, straps…… Left shoulder is pinched in slightly, probably compensating for the lack of mobility. Will have further sessions. Also showed me how my standing posture could be better.

Lunch at Mexican Radio with HAL Exec. Comm.

UTM meeting with Paul Czajka, District Attorney, and Ed Moore, Hudson Chief of Police. Very good meeting. Moore especially can see uses for the technology. Focused on communications between dispatcher and cars.

Went to Dine Rite Dinner out by CCGC. Just opened. Very good food. $30 for the two of us. Mix of Middle Eastern and Caribbean cuisines. Open for breakfast.
