Decided to walk to Cafe Zoe for breakfast, and to not wear my ear buds and listen to a podcast, but rather to think constructively of something to write for the writers meeting. I took a different route that added half a mile to the walk (3.3mi for the day). It worked, in that I thought of something that more or less fitted the prompt. When I got back about 9:30 I sat down and started writing but ran out of time and had nothing usable when the meeting started at 10:45.
Had lunch with some other writers to celebrate Connie’s birthday. I don’t know which birthday it was, but probably starts with a 9.
After lunch met with Stew to show him how I had used Keynote to make a lyrics file. He had found it extremely tedious. I showed him just a couple of tricks he hadn’t know of, like how to easily duplicate a slide. So now he is in charge of the lyrics file for the folk fest, editing the one that I produced.
At 3pm, met with Craig and we practiced our number for the folk fest, “City of New Orleans”. After three run-throughs we don’t totally suck.
