Took a slightly shorter walk in the morning. On return, picked up my “sack supper” because this is one of those nights when the Dining Services crew is off. The reason is, this afternoon is the Staff Holiday Party. The staff get together in the dining room, have a party, and receive their Appreciation Fund bonus checks.
Practiced music. Then dressed in my docent clothes in preparation for the 2pm tour. I had claimed that tour by arrangement with my neighbors Jerry and Betty, who wanted to show two of their friends, Dick and Maureen, the museum. They arrived about 1:15 and we had a walk around the 1401 lab, the PDP-1 lab, and the Software display, before the 2pm tour time. There were no other visitors, so it was just us 5. Since they weren’t pressed for time, we spent nearly 90 minutes on the walk around.
Later at 5:30 I joined them at Jerry and Betty’s apartment for drinks and chat. Then they went off to eat at the Green Elephant. I begged off, and had a nice supper alone.
