Yesterday on the way to the Pear I took note of the tents and crowds of people at the annual Palo Alto Clay and Glass festival. This morning I walked over to it and around it. This is an annual artisan’s craft fair that Marian was very fond of, and we went to it regularly. I’m not sure if this was the first held since Covid; in any case it was the first I’ve gone to since maybe 2017.
Lots of neat crafty stuff. I took a few pictures with the cell phone and will stick some at the end. Total walking for the day, 3 miles.
At 3:45 it was time to set up for an auditorium event. I had assumed this would be zoomed, and had invited Ian to join me to get experience running a hybrid event. But in fact Stew, who is in charge of this Sunday @ Home series, decided this one wouldn’t be, and didn’t advertise it as zoomed. So all of a sudden we were back to the old basic setup, plug a laptop into the projector with an HDMI cable and that’s it.
The presentation was to show a 40 minute video of a cruise in Norway and the Scottish Islands, narrated by Edith (I’ll call her Edith to avoid confusion with my 6th floor neighbor Edie). It went off OK, no disasters. Afterwards I had dinner with Stew and Kathy and Jeb and Edith.
