It was spritzing rain outside and anyway I needed to be in the auditorium before 10, so instead of the usual walk I went down to the gym and did 2 miles on the treadmill. Then to the auditorium to run the First Monday Book Talk. This featured Vickie Rozell (her family was very distantly related to the famous Pete Rozell) talking about publishing her father’s memoir. It was partly about her father’s childhood growing up in a semi-rural Compton CA, but more about the process of self-publishing a book. She wanted to encourage us oldsters to do that, self-publish our memories.
Then lunch with the speaker and some others, mostly from the Drama Group (see last week). They were interested because Vickie’s day job is with regional theaters, she both directs plays and teaches theatrical directing. So lots of chat about local theater.
After lunch I sat with Lynne and her ukulele and my guitar and tried to play some songs together. She wants to do that, reminiscing about how she used to have a ukulele group who would meet at various homes and play together “but they all died on me.” Anyway we have an idea of what we could perform together at the May concert.
