6/14/2019 – DOG, UTMH, RBC, Narcan at HAL, tennis, drinks at Ted and Anne’s house

Friday

Spent most of the day hanging end of newest DOG show. UTMH telecon with Troy Web, Matt Almeida, David Ackerman. Migrated website from diary.markorton.com to markorton.com. 

Emily Chameides sent me a text message at 4pm:

Just had to call 911. Found someone passed out in men’s room. Greenport Rescue and HPD responded and they revived him. Glad we caught it in time.

I was in the car going to play tennis. Saw the ambulance already at the library. I responded later. She replied:

Yes. Glad they came quickly and revived him. We have narcan but I called 911 first and they came so quickly. Glad I didn’t need to administer.

I stopped by her house on 5th on my way home from tennis. She was sitting on her stoop. We chatted about the incident for a few moments, the emotional burden of finding unresponsive bodies and then deciding what to do. She and Paul have Narcan training. But she pointed out that this guy was really big and it happens that they get aggressive when revived. But the Greenport Rescue came so quickly that she didn’t need to work that over too much.

Tennis was a first outing after the trip and illness, first time in just a day shy of four weeks. Trouble striking the ball squarely. Volleying OK. Ted was like the Energizer Bunny. I was fairly dead. Only played for an 45 minutes. 

Drinks with Ted and Anne. Ted had made a big plate of deviled eggs. Shared notes of our trips. They had taken ten students from Marist to Paris for ten days. As usual the conversation was loud, abrupt, back and forth.

Ended evening with another The Closer. 

3/21/2019 – UTMH, travel posts, tennis

Thursday 

Starting to feel very depressed about UTMH. Little progress, frustrated with people, lack of budget, remote management may not be working for me, David’s craziness…..  what to do??

Meeting with Seth at CMH. Project continues to be doing well though their sense of urgency is low….

Worked on February 2011 road trip project blog February 2011 road trip project blog elsewhere here. Very good work set up with drag and drop of photos in the post.

Tennis lesson was excellent. Working on reforming the drop off the racket of the back swing on the backhand side. 

Spoke with Alan Harris about his Euphorium.buzz business for an hour. His wife is the actress Charlayne Woodard.  He is brother of Anita. Love stone product. MrCheckout opportunity. Strange guy. Obviously very ill.

Karen went to her book group. Smoked last of the weed. I fell asleep at 9:15 pm or so just after she returned.

Friday 3/1/2019

Up early again, 5:30am.

UTMH: Talked with David Ball and Greg Turner at Ball Consulting. They essentially repeated their rather narrow focus on press and media relations when asked again how they might help reach our new target markets. Perhaps now Seth will be satisfied that we can jettison them as a monthly retainer. Move to time and materials basis. 

Prepared materials for tomorrow’s HAL board retreat. Couple hours work. Spoke with Miranda Barry about the meeting. She continues to be quite sick with a cold.

Chatted with Matt Almeida who had done very little this week.

Played tennis with Ted at Old Chatham on the clay court. 1 1/2 hours. I played very badly.
