First thing, do the laundry. While it runs, edit the folk fest video to delete the two songs we decided to cut, and process that. Laundry done at 10. Drop a USB stick with the new video under Stew’s door.
Go up to the 11th floor, meet with Mary and John to practice YGAF one more time, work out some of the rough patches that showed up in the rehearsal yesterday.
Had lunch, then joined the 1pm monthly FOPAL post-sale zoom meeting. Sale brought in $21K. Janette dropped the factoid that ours is the 2nd largest used book sale in California (or Northern California?), 2nd only to San Francisco’s.
Two-thirty, went to the activity room to help a presenter from Avenidas who had come to address Lou’s “Car-Free” group. This is people who’ve given up their cars and share info on using public transit, Lyft, GoGo etc. The person from Avenidas was to present on use of Google Maps. She had her slides on an iPad, and I helped her get connected to our zoom room. I didn’t stay for the talk, figuring I knew Maps pretty well. At supper I heard from somebody who was there that she was not a good teacher and they didn’t get much from the talk.
At 4:30 I went down and set up a mic for musicians who were going to play for the monthly Birthday supper. And that was about it for a busy day.
