Took a moderate walk, then it was time for the writers meeting. I didn’t contribute anything. Then drove to FOPAL for the post-sale triage of my shelves, sending all books that have gone through four sales to the bargain room. Back for a quiet afternoon, napping, guitar practice. Just another day in paradise.
Well, I did write something, late. Stew, an indefatigable organizer, wants to revive the idea I was promoting back in 2021 (I can’t find a blog post where I mentioned it, but it was in that year). The idea was that Channing House, or the Resident Association, or somebody, should fund subscriptions to all the streaming services, so we could watch Disney and Netflix and Hulu, blah blah, on the 11th floor TV. The idea died because of the complicated logistics. There would have to be some person, or some elected officer maybe, who had the email address and credit card used to subscribe to all these accounts. Who would do that? And using what funding source? And how do you secure the IDs so the streams couldn’t be used on some other device(s)?
Stew wants to try again, so I spent an hour-plus writing a careful account of what the issues are, with suggestions, and wishing him luck.
