4/29 – 4/30/2019 – work, book club, MRI, dinner

Monday and Tuesday

Still underpowered from cold. Foggy and low energy. 

Met with Tony Kieraldo at Rev about UTMH matters. He told me about his music tour in Europe and Lebanon. We talked through a new social media campaign to develop leads for UTMH. Bright guy. Also met with David and Seth. The, late afternoon  Ole. Missed an appointment at PT with Corey Smith. This has not happened before. 

HAL NonFiction Book Club – picked up Erika Born out in Ghent because Nick was busy and couldn’t come. Good discussion of Drawdown edited by Paul Hawken. Emily, Karen,  Lisa Stewart, Erika Born, Nancy Kuster, Michael O’Hara, Ruth Tamaroff, Juan Flores(new) and Bob Braunlich from SunCommon in Rhinebeck. Michael gave a good description of how a carbon tax could be implemented.

Up promptly Tuesday morning. Enema in preparation for the prostate MRI up in Latham at ImageCare. Arrived at 10:30 back in car at 11:40. 30 minutes in the machine. Wait for the results.

Emily called from the library to discuss how to handle requests from Register Star for video from security camera on second floor that may have caught the altercation between Tom DePietro and John Friedman during a Common Council meeting last week. Camera belongs to Galvan but is recorded on our equipment. The police had come by earlier and taken a copy with Galvan’s permission. Emily will refer them to Galvan for permission to release.

Long nap in the afternoon. Dinner at Dave’s in Catskill. Karen made a salad and I made rice pudding.  Lamb, saag paneer, yellow sauce, cheese cake by Hazel.

8 pm looking west.

 

4/13/2019 – breakfast, DOG sitting, drinks with Ruth and Michael

Saturday

Breakfast at Bob’s with short visit to ShopRite. CVS to pick up Tadalafil. Only took two 20 mg tablets at $106. See if it works. Gallery sitting rest of day. Karen went to her balance class at the library and then to Ctr for Photography at Woodstock for an opening.

Seen at ShopRite. Not sure why “paws” is better than “feet”?

Spent lots of time on 2011 road trip project here. Also a posting on AD of John Oliver’s pieces on the US justice system John Oliver’s pieces on the US justice system.

Emily and Michael Chameides came by the gallery at the end of the day. Left exactly at 5:30. Good talk with Michael about his supervisor role and other local politics and policies. Very smart guy, Low key, pleasant to boot. Since I speak with Emily regularly we barely spoke. They enjoyed the exhibit, LandEscapes.

Michael O’Hara and Ruth Tamaroff came for drinks at 6:30. Lots of talk about Michael’s two week visit to Rome in January. We are planning a visit in May.  He gave us very detailed descriptions of places he visited with suggestions along the way. I took three pages of notes. Very much fun visit with them. Ruth was a bit tippy on leaving. Michael seems impervious to drink.
