Went for the standard walk, which is always pleasant, listening to a podcast, stopping at Starbucks at the 3/4 point for a cup and a cake. Back by 9:30.
At 10 I went down and set up the auditorium for the First Monday book talk. Gigi Tsai, who has been organizing this series now for a year, had scheduled herself in. She is married to Tom Tsai, who published his autobiography a year ago. SInce then Tom has been losing mental capacity, so Gigi read excerpts from his book for him.
After shutting down the auditorium and copying the video recording to my laptop, I stowed it in my room and headed off to FOPAL. There I processed several boxes of books and prepped my section for the upcoming sale weekend. Back home about 4 for a nap. Had dinner with the neighbor Brian and with Sophia and Mark, relatively new residents.
Later in the evening I was reminded of another event video that needed processing, so at this point I have the old laptop working away on processing one and the newer, and much faster laptop zipping through the other.
