Karen is away in Portland, OR at Fotofest. Gallery had two visitors including Bruce Bergman.

Music at Bard

Went with Howard Saunders to Bard. 7 PM pre lecture was quite good. in retrospective the argument for the Janacek having provenance from Russian music hardly seemed beyond a doubt. I imagined Prokofiev borrowing from Janacek just a bit later. The harp concerto was great with numerous effects that were surprising and new to me. The Goetz was only interesting as an example of the fact that lots of very good art is created and either never recognized during its period or lost thereafter.

Went to library at 10am for staff and volunteers mtg. Then met wi Theresa about upcoming library design consultant mtgs.

Went to Toyota Kinderhook to look at new Corollas. Very much like our ten year old car.

Howard Saunders called to say he was coming on the train. Invited him for dinner. Boneless pork ribs. Made BBQ sauce Kansas City style. He brought wine. I had Scotch before he arrived. We talked about the need to live a long life. What does one do at 85?

After dinner he suggested Swoon. We gladly agreed because we had missed yesterday.

Dave’s 13 yr old cat is feeling better. Talked loudly about movies. Spoke with young couple visiting from Brooklyn. She is a clothing designer, he a writer.

Came home. Karen was funny and pawing a bit. She was a bit tipsy.

NO ENTRIES between these two.

Went for a tooth cleaning. Ann, the dental hygienist, is a runner. Should have guessed. Tall thin runner’s body. Teeth OK.

Finally took an axe to the new RiversideBusinessCoach.com website. Reduced the number of pages by 50%. One page for big topics. Only business coaching process pages got a bunch.

Talked with Angela Gonzalez, library director candidate. Not polished but showed some energy and passion. Set up talk with Bruce George tomorrow.

Got lease for 217 Warren from Nick Haddad. Some further changes. But he signed the final draft. Continue reading →
