I signed up to lead a tour of 15 Apple employees at 11:30 am, but Wanda wanted to clean my apartment at 9:30 so I left early, did an errand, then sat in the car and listened to a podcast in the museum parking lot until time. The tour went well. I’m doing another tomorrow, which may not go so well.
Back home and by arrangement met with my neighbor Dr. Margaret. She is recently back from a trip to Tanzania with a ton of really good pictures and cellphone videos (close up lions, baboons, elephants, etc.) that she wants to put together with iMovie. She’s been trying really hard to learn it on her own with youtube videos and such, so I offered to help. We spent a solid two hours hunched over her laptop building the first 20 minutes of a movie. I think she has learned enough to carry on for a while on her own.
Then practiced music. I am scheduled to perform sometime in March at the Lee Center, for which Puff the Magic Dragon is requested, and then in May at the spring concert, I hope with Lynne doing the routine I scripted yesterday. Which means learning these songs well enough to not embarrass myself. Back a few months, I was going to do Puff and then dropped it, so I had practiced it a lot, and still had problems. So now I’m switching to a different way to do the chords which seems to be a little easier. Anyway.
