One third of the year gone. How about that?
First thing on the agenda today was laundry, which I finished entirely by 10:15, just in time to head down to the 2nd floor to see Leah the hairdresser. I have been letting my hair grow for about 9 or 10 weeks now. I had an appointment at the 6-week mark and canceled it. Just to see. Well, I saw: my thin hair gets long and bushy around the back of my skull, kind of like bozo the clown’s hair. So I made an appointment with Leah and today told her, buzz it all down, make my whole head the same length (i.e. 1/4 inch) as my beard. “Make me look like a coconut” is what I said. So now I have a round slightly fuzzy head. Which is fine.
Lois had called the tech squad line to report that she couldn’t do anything with her iMac, she couldn’t even enter the login password. I asked her about it when I saw her at lunch. Nope, she powers it off and on and it wants the login password but she can’t type the password. So I said I’ll stop by about 2:30. About 2pm I was thinking about it and realized, oho, it isn’t the computer, it’s the keyboard. The keyboard is dead. I was picturing a USB cable lying on the floor or such. But when I saw her machine, it has the little flat wireless keyboard, which connects by bluetooth. And which has an internal battery and you have to charge it up every so often. So I connected it to the wire she uses for charging the mouse, and after about 10 seconds, hey, you could type a password. I did not laugh at her. She said “well that makes me feel stupid” and I didn’t comment.
At 3:30 the Good Times committee met to finalize the list of songs for what decided would be called our Folk Festival — not Hootenanny as I wanted — in September. Also that we will tell the volunteers who like to decorate, the theme is 60s Coffee House. Nothing further to be done before July, now.
