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.
3/22/2019 – UTMH, road trip posting, tennis, Karen, Chinese food
Friday
Good talk with Karen about the UTMH situation. She said to back off on the idea that my management style doesn’t fit. Focus on chaos of the situation. Then, Seth called to say that he has arranged to meet with David.
Meeting w David and Seth went well. David took responsibility for Wexelman and other parts. When I asked about the budget for marketing events he nodded without answering my real question about how much money we have. Concluded on strategy for Gayle and Ole. We’ll make this a biweekly event.
Feel less oppressed and depressed with more clarity amongst the three of us about the situation and my obligations and theirs.
More work on the Feb 2011 road trip posting
Tennis with Ted at Old Chatham Tennis on clay for two hours. 4-6pm. Played well. Lost two sets 6-4, 6-4. Exhausted.
Photo sent by Jonathan. Taken at opening reception for Photographuc Resource Center Exposure 2018 22nd annual Juried exhibition where Karen was one of 11 photographers displayed.

Karen still quite sick with a cold. NYTimes with breakfast. Wrote a response to Joe Keenan then posted on currentmatters.markorton.com . “How Much Money Would It Take to Eliminate Poverty in the US.” – Spent much of the morning working on the search function for the volunteer site for the library. Then wrote instructions.
Walked up to Subway for sandwich and salad for our lunch. Stopped along the way to talk with Joan Damiani. Her art production is very high. She said that she sold two paintings in January. “Never happened before, probably won’t happen again. But, energizing.”
Also ranted about Trump.

Winter Walk 2015
Vico forgot about making their eggnog. But, it turned out to be a fortuitous error. Bruce from BCB Art gave us two gallons of cider. Didn’t open them. Not more than 25 people made it down to our end of the street. Closed at 7:45pm. Watched first episode of Season 4 of Homeland.
Monday – 11/30/2015
Off to Walmart w Karen to buy Xmas decorations for gallery. Saw these air hockey games…. memory of same game in 1975-76 at Christmas at house at 254 Western Ave. Torrey & Jane arrived in a wild snow storm with a fire raging across Hoyt Field on River St. Jane beat everyone at air hockey. She has no memory of this epic event.
Christmas Present?

After breakfast and the NYTimes, walked down to river then up alley to look at David Brown’s new house there. Talked with Joe about the birds living in his backyard and the hawk lurking about. Continued up the alley identifying as many of the buildings with regard to their Warren St. presence. On the way back down Warren ran into Joe again. He spoke of living in his condo at the end of the alley on Front St. Noisy neighbors. Plans to move to Eureka CA.
Hung up Karen’s posters in barn.
A scene of street art from Melbourne.
Later….
Not more than 8 people in gallery. Made butternut squash and chickpeas stew. Leftover chicken and brussel sprouts in mustard sauce.
