Went for a medium walk this morning, still some hip oddness. Almost 3 miles for the day.
Did the monthly check of the various accounts comprising the Nest Egg; it’s still healthy.
Ran a lecture event tonight, speaker was Faith Bell, the present proprietor of her family’s book store, Bell’s Books, rather famous in Palo Alto. Oddly enough Marian and I almost never shopped there. Up until the turn of the century, we would make nearly weekly trips to Kepler’s in Menlo Park (after 2000 we were mostly reading online) but never to Bell’s in Palo Alto. It was primarily used books, and crowded and disorganized, not fun to shop in. But tonight Ms. Bell gave a very nice presentation on the 89-year history of the store. And the event came off very smoothly, patting myself on the back for that.
