Despite some lingering tenderness in the foot, I went for the standard 2+ mile walk and it was ok. By evening, the tenderness was almost gone. Swelling and pink color reduced but still visible. Would you like a photo of my feet? I thought not.
Had a very pleasant hour playing guitar and singing. My voice was on, for once. I am especially tickled by my rendition of Radiohead’s song “Creep”. Proper emo screamer, I am.
After lunch was the monthly FOPAL zoom at which boss Jannette properly advertised the Vintage Computer Fest need for volunteers. Later she posted an online sign-up page, very well constructed. Nice.
I ran an event in the evening: a talk by Ann Cribbs. Ann Cribbs was an olympic swimmer at the 1960 games in Rome! For the last 50 years she has been a significant player in all sorts of public efforts in sports and in Palo Alto civic affairs. She was one of the founders of the ABL, the first women’s pro BBall league; she was on a couple of Olympic organizing committees; brought the Senior Games to Palo Alto; lots of other things. Strangely enough she does not have a Wikipedia page!
Especially nice from my point of view, she didn’t have any powerpoints or videos to show. Just stood behind the podium and talked, which makes running an event really easy from the AV standpoint.
