I couldn’t go for a walk first thing because I had to meet with Stew and Susan in the auditorium at 9:30, which really meant me going down there at 9 to turn stuff on. Then the phone rang at 8, it was neighbor Martha, who had just been misled by a scammy website into giving her yahoo mail address and password. She was trying to change the password and it wasn’t working, indicating the scammer had already changed it, maybe.
So I worked with her rather intensely for an hour and we got the yahoo login back and could view her mail in a web browser, but Apple Mail on the Mac and her phone, couldn’t connect. So I left her and went downstairs and worked with Stew and Susan until 10:30, then back to Martha’s place for more of that. We worked with the Yahoo online help and got pretty much everything fixed except Mail. One problem is, her Macbook is old (2015, geez) and running a version of MacOS that is two levels back of what she could run. I left her updating the Macbook.
Then I rebuilt the Folk Fest video picking up two requested changes, that takes 90 minutes, but while the iMac is munging on that I could practice my music. At three I went downstairs for the Wednesday coffee hour, and then got called away by Sandy who was setting up for a concert in the lobby. Her problem was easily fixed.
The concert was at 4:30, two pianists, father and son. The son is a professor of composition at Stanford, the father retired. They played various jazz things and were quite skillful and worked together well, but I didn’t care for the sound of their music. I decided to put on my walking shoes and walk to midtown and get supper out. But passing through the lobby I saw Caroline and remembered that this was the day of the 6th floor monthly dinner, so I diverted to that, dinner with her and 4 other neighbors from the 6th floor.
Except none of the desserts on the menu pleased me, so I skipped dessert, instead walked the 2 miles to midtown where I had 2 scoops of mint chip at the Baskin-Robbins, and got a Lyft back.
