Morning I walked over to CVS to buy talcum powder. Why? Because the Dell laptop I was preparing for gift shop sale had a rubberized coating on the plate surrounding its keyboard, and this had degraded and felt gummy and sticky. Google “Dell sticky palm rest” and you’ll find lots of hits; it’s a common problem. And one internet post out of many had a solution: talcum powder. Spread it on, rub it in, wipe it off. And it made the rubbery surface much less gummy.
At 1pm I left for the museum and led the 2pm tour. Started with 15, picked up more on the way, ended with about 25 people. They seemed to enjoy it.
Had an early supper with Mary and Andrew, then at 6:30 Mary and I drove across town to St. Mark’s Episcopal to hear a concert by Lyyra, a female vocal group. They were pretty good. Some of the numbers (and some of the individual voices) were excellent. I wanted them to pick up the pace, have more rhythm, punch the lyrics more clearly. Despite lovely harmonies, the show as a whole seemed to drag a bit, some of the time. But who am I to carp?
