Saturday – 2/25/2017 – HAL volunteer fair

Karen has bad cold. 

Breakfast at Bobs then shopping at Price Chopper and Walmart. Temperature 65 degrees  

I worked on the forms on the library volunteer site. Figured out how to get the flow working. Went library at noon. Prop 414 meeting at 1. Lasted almost until 3.

Volunteer Fair followed at 4. Spent most of the time talking with Joe Keenan. About 30 people attended along with the whole board. Fixed problem with the online application form on the fly. 

Came home as the 60 degree weather broke in a windy blow. Temperature fell quickly. Got to 2nd St just as rain changed into a downpour. 40 degrees at 7pm. 

Monday – 2/6/2107

Up promptly – in car and out of Belmont by 7:40am. Back to Hudson by 10:30.

Promised teleconference with UTM evaporated.

Long talk with Brigid Dorsey about her business. She has come around on her own to the need to raise funds from friends and network. Has reached out to Joe Keenan and his daughter Lauren to help with a crowdfunding campaign.

Watched more of the British TV series- The Shadow Line.  Trouble getting to sleep. Need to be up at 5:30 tomorrow to get to hospital for cataract surgery at 6:30am.

Local Produce

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.

Took Linda to see the library for the first time. Lunch at Cascades. Chatted with Linda about her doings. She is working on a research project at Mass Mental on how mentally ill relate to  their clinicians. Structured interviews.

Met with Seth Lachterman in mid afternoon. Prep for tomorrow’s CMH meeting. 

Geodesic dome house along Rte 25 in Stockport.

Linda and I went on a little ride in the country. Stockport Creek, then along Hudson River to Rte 25 to 9H to Stottville.

Stop at Price Chopper for bread for garlic bread.

Flat Tire

Dave 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.

Monday – 1/30/2017

Walked up to hospital for blood tests.

Stopped at Cascades for peanut butter on whole wheat bagel.

Then, a brief stop in Hudson Opera House to look at the Alleys of Hudson photo display. Peter Spears, photography.

HOH lobby. Construction is closing in on final work.l

Cleaned up downstairs.

Then, did more revisions to UTM piece. Done now. Talked with Ole Breuning about Northern Dutchess Hospital.

Linda Larson arrived with Karen at 7pm when she returned from her Soup Group meeting in Cambridge. Linda’s annual visit. 

Leftover tuna casserole for dinner.

Work Decision

Woke up at 4:30 am. Decided that today was a good day to tell UTM, David and Seth, that my days with them are over at the end of the year. Got to bring this engagement to an end.

When I signed on formally with UTM in March 2014 you were aware of my involvement as a founder with my brother Ed in a start up medical devices company, Prescient Medical Devices, LLC (PrescientMedicalDevices.com). For a number of reasons we had put the development of the company on pause while we addressed some IP issues. This made it possible to make a commitment to UTM for a year which was the time frame we talked about at that time.

PMD is now restarting. My brother is making presentations to investors and we expect that these will be fruitful. This means that I need to position myself to focus most of my energies on PMD by the latest January 2016.

I suggest that we move the project of finding a sales/marketing person on to the front burner. You may have other priorities. Lets talk about how I can be most helpful.

Thanks,

Felt immediate relief from taking this step despite the deceptive statements about PMD. Nothing new is happening as far as I know on that front.

No heat. Waiting on plumber Ihlenburg.

Went to Belvedere Home Healthcare in Albany for UTM meeting. Good meeting gathering requirements. They will conduct a survey of potential users.

Back to Hudson for HAL Exec Comm lunch at Mexican Radio. Followed by mtg with David Murphy, Betsy Miller and T Parsons about upcoming hard hat tours of Armory for high rollers. Then, at 3pm meeting with Ann Rosenthal about her role as Chair of Program Committee. Smart, energetic, engaged…. big plus for library.

While Karen taught her online course I went to Bell’s Pint Nite at The Spotty Dog. After chatting up the regional sales rep for Bells I was given a Bell’s Pint glass. Also had good chat with Sherrie Jo Williams and Pauline DeCarmo and a couple of their friends.IMG_0916
