3/14/2020 – Bob’s, shopping, tennis

Saturday

Off to Bob’s Diner for breakfast. Sat at some distance from others. Not as crowded as usual. Couple of cracks about practicing social distancing. Went to ShopRite. Parking lot was over half full. never seen this at this early hour. Some shelves, noticeably paper products and water were nearly bare. Meat in thin supply. Certain air of frenzy about some of the shoppers. We stocked up on canned goods. Also went to Walmart. Both places were sold out of tofu!

Walked up to Farmer’s Market on upper Union. Warren St. was quite empty. Noticed workers moving pews out of the Presbyterian Church. Maybe the roof project is going to get underway. The market had quite a few people. No Berkshire Bakery bread. Bought a bacon and gruyere quiche.

Largely a day lost to the strange vibe of the COVID19 pandemic.

Played tennis at Old Chatham for 2 hours with Ted. Felt like a break through. Much fluid play and more good exchanges at the net. Love the HardTrtu court

1/24/2020 – web work, tennis, movie

Friday

Spent several hours working through photos from 2018 to make a list of events. Also extended the project on ValuEdge history. Cleaned up a few family finance issues.

Karen’s new 27” iMac arrived. Got it started installing from Time Machine backup. Still working on it as we went to bed.

Played tennis with Ted at Old Chatham Tennis… only got one hour of court time. Worked on new grip for backhand. Ended set at 3-5. 

Went to TSL to see Parasite (IMDB link), the Korean movie much talked about recently. Interesting, strange movie….

On the way to Bob’s…..

7:28 am

Attended a marketing workshop at the library. This one given by staff from MHLS. Biggest surprise was to hear from folks at RoeJan Library that they only raise 30% of the funds from taxes!!

First visit of the season to Old Chatham Tennis Club. Played with Ted on the HarTru court. Lots of fun on this surface.
