In the morning I took a walk around and stopped at the farmers market to buy some apricots. Just apricots, no delicious pastries. After lunch I went down to the museum and led a tour of what was to be 16 Google employees, but was actually only 8. What a casual group, they really didn’t seem to know where the others were, or have a leader or organizer or anything. But I did the tour and it went pretty well.
A little after seven I walked over to the Lucy Stern theater for a Palo Alto Players show. This was a Harry Potter take-off called “Puffs” after the house that nobody wants to be sorted into, the Hufflepuffs. The large cast tackled this with immense energy and noise but I didn’t get any of the jokes. I am just not into the Potter-verse. I think I read the first book back in the 70s and I believe I saw the first movie, but probably on TV. Or on an airliner. People around me were laughing at what I assume were clever references, but it was all over my head. It took them an hour and a quarter to get to intermission, and I couldn’t leave fast enough then.
