I opened the new year with the standard walk, and felt fine. So that’s nice. On return to CH I got the news that the talk that was scheduled for 11am, the one we helped Dr Basso rehearse for on Friday, had been canceled, as he felt unwell. Had it not been canceled for that, there would have been another problem, in that the AV desk in the auditorium was still covered with a plastic tarp after the weekend’s rain had produced another leak. But it was relief all around that he’d canceled.
I had been invited by Carolyn to join her and Edie and Gwen for lunch. As normal on a holiday, lunch was a big deal meal, and then dining services all pack up and leave right after for afternoon with their families. So the menu was a little fancier than normal.
I asked the ladies what kind of songs I should be rehearsing with the guitar, and one said, Peter Paul and Mary, and another said, Pete Seeger. So after lunch I spent some time collecting guitar music from those, and have a bunch of songs to work on. One Seeger number, I think the title is “Get up and Go“, is going to work very well. It’s funny anyway but I can “sell” it (better than Seeger, if I dare say so). So that is definitely in my “set list” for the next time I perform. Which is not scheduled in any way.
At 5:30 there were only 6 of us who met in the 6th floor dining room to share our sack suppers. But a friendly little group, me and Carolyn and Edie, plus Dr. Margaret and Diane and Craig.
