Started the day with a shortish walk of a mile plus, and with coffee and a pastry for breakfast. Then it was back to work, to run and record a First Monday Book Talk. The speaker was newish neighbor Susan, most of whose career was spent as a teacher at College of San Mateo. Besides teaching, she did research into the life of an author I had never heard of, Michel Tournier (me-shell turn-yay), publishing several scholarly papers and eventually writing a book on his career.
First Monday Book Talks are where an author, preferably but not necessarily a CH resident, talks about their book. Susan rocked it; she gave an enthusiastic and interesting half-hour biography of Tournier and his major works and got a big hand. Gigi, who is the producer of this series of talks, had a large table for 6 for lunch. Pleasant chatting.
Then off for three hours at FOPAL, processing 7 boxes of books and tidying up my shelves for the sale which is next weekend.
