3.273 outage, model, play

09/11/2022

Woke up at 6:15 and tapped my bedside lamp. No light. “Oh dear,” I said, “we have another outage.” And we did. Went into the pitch dark bathroom and was able to put my hand on my emergency flashlight in one try. Dressed and went down to the front desk, as planned, since I am part of the resident emergency response team that Bert set up only two weeks back. Bert and Leon were already there. Over the next half hour it didn’t seem as if much needed doing. Staff was dealing with everything very nicely. Dining services had instantly switched over from their usual breakfast to setting up a continental breakfast cafeteria line.

So I went back to my room, and thence to the garage and drove down to FOPAL to tidy my shelves after the first day of the sale weekend. Back to CH by 8:30 and found the power was back on, yay! Showered and dressed again, and took some pictures of the Studebaker (below) after which I cleaned my desk up. I really don’t know when/if I will start another model.

At 1:15 I headed downstairs to join a carpool headed to a play at the Pear theater. The play was Collective Rage: A Play in 5 Betties. (Link to Amazon, you can read the sample.) Lots of message to women, not so much to me. But excellent acting from all five Betties.
