After a lazy start I drove down to the nursery meaning to buy some really ferocious chemical insecticide. But of course the modern nursery doesn’t have the good old environmentally bad bug killers, just some namby-pamby stuff you could take a bath in. Well. Back and I attacked the dragon-wing begonias, whacking off all the white-fly-infested leaves. Then drenched the remaining sticks with the Mister Nice Guy bug spray, hoping to kill the nasty little things and their eggs. We’ll see.
Met with Stew to plan videos for the upcoming “Strollin into the Sixties” party. At lunch I was talking to Florrie who is a pianist, and I was complaining how the Malvina Reynolds song “I Wish You Were Here” is a killer that I would like to perform, but it is just two notes too high for me. I have worked on transposing it on the guitar and there is no transposition that gives playable chords. So after we finished lunch we went to the piano in the lobby and she tried transposing it, she thought she knew how but had a hard time working it out. But it was fun talking music.
Watched the SWBB team play Colorado on the TV and lose.
