Went for a shortish walk (2.5 mi for the day). At 10:30 I met with Laurie and Joanne about the event they want to run. They are organizing a seventieth reunion (!) for Paly High this weekend. (Do the math: the youngest person in the room will be 87. How are there enough of them around to have a big do? But there are.) They wanted to use the mobile TV to have a zoom presence for remote alumni. They are hopeless at tech stuff, but they have imposed on Bruce Gee, the 50yo son of another CH resident. He came today at 10:30 and we had a practice session using the zoom room hardware in the Activity Room. The mobile TV has identical hardware. Bruce had no difficulty at all with the concepts or the details of being a zoom host and including the zoom room in it. So that should be OK.
I modified some of the media for the C&W thing, based on notes from yesterday’s rehearsal. I took one call for the tech squad: Marlys’s TV had suddenly stopped showing comcast and she wanted to see the US Open Tennis, starting shortly. Somehow the TV had switched to HDMI3 and they couldn’t switch it back because the batteries in the TV remote were dead. Typical tech squad call. Swap the batteries, power it off and on, fixed.
I packed for tomorrow’s trip, and watered the plants. Amazing how everything has migrated to the phone. In my Apple Wallet I have my boarding pass for the flight and my ticket for the wooden boat festival, and just deleted my ticket from the jazz festival.
