2/20/19 – HAL, DOG, UTMH, tennis

Wednesday 2/20/2019

Finished up the DOG website forms for Karen. They are now set up as a database so she can export things  En mass.

Good call with Miranda Barry about David Murphy and a foundation for the library. She had followed up on my conversation with David while we were in FL last week. Looks like a good opportunity to get a significant start on an endowment for the library. Also we talked about possible co-president arrangement.

Spent most of the afternoon with Seth. Discussed customer service requirements and lit of user manuals that Ryder Cooley needs to write. Reviewed bad service situation with Troy Web. Need to have a meeting with Anthony DeBonis to try to improve things. Also talked with David about his Slack account. 

Spoke with Anita Harris for 30 minutes. More about her Mom’s house and all of the travails with her siblings.

Evening tennis was just so so.

Up at 5:30. Met w Karen about forms on DOG site. Wrote piece for AD about Republican Party moral bankruptcy.  More time on OLDFandF.com.

Wrote more patient instructions for UTMH. 

Went to Total Tennis for singles nite. Played doubles with two different groups of guys. More competitive on average than the Wednesday group. Tall guy Rick with a funny but effective backhand. Very quick hands. Good serve. Short Indian guy Nick. Not a strong hitter but quick, good volleys. Als a kind of sour guy Kevin. Played until 9:15. I had some really striking sequences of shots. Good serving night.

Visit to Dr. Esposito for final clearance on cataract surgery. Two more weeks of drops.

Back to tennis!!

Played tennis in Saugerties for the first time since first week of January. Eye sight is very much improved. Played really quite well after such a long layoff. Shoulder bothered a bit so hit slice serves. Net play was demonstrably better. George Traver who joined us last Fall noted that he used to wonder how my good form resulted in so many shanked or simply missed balls. Cataracts.

Got to tennis early. 15 minutes of extra warm up. Played very well. Last tennis until the end of February. 

Wednesday – 1/4/2017 – vertigo, snow man melting, and work

Vertigo on waking up. Fell over in bed. Luckily didn’t bang my head. Took several minutes sitting on edge of bed to get going. Looks like more severe type of what I had 25 years ago. Where is Stanley now that I need him again. When I lie prone and hold my head in some positions I get vertigo. Will have to go to doctor about this. 

Took repeated pictures of snowman melting in backyard. 

Met with Seth Lachterman about CMH project. 

Then talked w Anita Harris. 

Tennis at night. 

Ed called. They will come for a visit Sunday.
