1/25/2020 – Bob’s – pack up DavisOrtonEditions

Saturday

Regular Saturday breakfast at Bob’s followed by grocery shopping.

Attended to new Time Machine hard drive for Karen’s new iMac. Spent several more hours scrubbing through the photos from 2018 to creat a list of blog postings. Somehow I went through 2018 with only two entries in real time.

Spent most of the afternoon boxing up the fifty or so portfolios that were featured in our failed attempt to sell photography online. DavisOrtonEditions was launched in 2013 and abandoned in 2016. Time to ship the prints back to the photographers. Fortunately we had a good sluppy of white boxes. Karen worked  on confirming  the shipping addresses for all these boxes. We lost  the old database.Rained steadily all afternoon and into the evening.

Dinner

Pork chop, red bean vegetable medley with jerk seasoning, cauliflower mashed with cheese, salad with Brussels sprouts chopped:

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. 

Chinese food from Red Chopsticks for dinner.

3/18/2019 – HAL, travel photos

Monday

Cold weather returns – 29 degrees at 7am.

Went to library at 10am to interview Tina Lesem for admin asst position. Very bright, verbal, experienced. Great candidate, Hope Emily hires her right away.

Spent most of day wrestling with travel photos. Re-organizing, downloading stuff from iCloud. The travel file is almost 100 GBs. Started to split it in half. 

Avoided talking with David Ackerman. Seth is away.

Found a pile of little travel notebooks. Earliest dates back to 1989 trip to Cascades. Read aloud over dinner the entries for our HK-Vietnam trip in 12/2008-1/2009. One note about how Vietnamese treat children was a reminder. “Everywhere people pick Jesse up almost without asking. He is paraded around and played with. Seems that there is communal ownership of babies.” This happened on the street in Hanoi and also in a restaraunt somewhere where the wait staff, not having much too do, came over and took Jesse away. We had lunch in leave and he was entertained.

3/17/2019 – St. Patrick’s Day lunch, travel photos

Karen went out to visit Richard Edelman with others from photog group. She had set up the crock pot with the corned beef cooking. 

Dinner at 1 or so. Dave brought beans and greens; Sherry Jo brought salad. We supplied the rest. Pauline’s sister came too. Anita Harris came too. 

Spent most of afternoon restoring lost travel photos from 2018.

Very succcessful meeting to kick off the patient pilot. Lots of good ideas from the staff.

Breakfast at Tanzy’s. Talked with Tisha and her husband about their trip to Iceland. Revised notes of Thursday’s HAL history talk by Carl Whitbeck. Rick Rector was there too. 

Walked up to library for Board of Trustees mtg. Again struck by the tremendous change in composition of the board. Term limits have that effect. 

Meeting in the Senior Ctr room 2nd floor

Stayed at library until 1pm working on HAL volunteer website. Rushed home. Drove to Kinderhook for a demo outside Congressman Faso’s office. More people than a week ago in Hudson. Occupy Wall St style crowd repetition of speaker’s words. We left after about 15 minutes. Ran into Sue Ciafullo at her house wheee we had coincidentally parked  she has just sold her house. Moving to Charleston SC at the end of March.

Thursday – 3/26/15

More work on getting ready for taxes. Trip to Albany to meet with UAlbany students. Jan there too. Raining and cold.

Walked over to university art gallery. Current show: The Ties That Bind: Artists and Archives.

Most striking is Shane Aslan Selzer’s images in B&W. One image bleeding into the next always preserving elements of the  earlier in the succeeding. Here is a sequence grabbed by iPhone from the video.
