I had two hours before running an event, the monthly book talk, at 10, and I took care of a bunch of little shit. Made out the check for the annual staff appreciation fund and put it in the contribution box. Paid my comcast bill. Wrote another check for an excursion next week. Stuff.
The speaker for book talk was Dylan Penningroth, who gave an interesting talk. New AV team member Richard shadowed me watching how a zoom meeting was done.
From lunchtime until 4 I edited the video of the event of last Friday, the presentation on ballot propositions for this election.
At 3:55 I broke off to attend, for the first time, the Poetry Out Loud group, who meet to read their favorite poems out loud. I read one by Byron. I learned about some other poets I had not heard of.
At 5 it was time for the monthly mixer dinner. You go to the dining room right at 5:15 and as you come in, you pick a numbered tag from a hat, and that is the table you sit at. As usual, I ended up eating with people I knew, but one of them, Judy, was someone I had never eaten a meal with, so there’s that.
Back upstairs to finish editing and uploading the video.
