Had a rehearsal of RATCT at 10, so I spent the hour before trying to get better with the guitar on that song. We don’t sound terrible, but it needs more work. All right, I need more work. Alice and John are fine.
At 11, I met with Richard R, who is interested in being part of the AV team. We went over all the auditorium systems. He’ll be good.
After lunch I was looking at an open afternoon with nothing to do. At lunch Ian had said he was going to see “Fiddler on the Roof” at Palo Alto Players at 2pm, and I gave that a thought, but no, it’s 2 and a half hours and I just wasn’t that interested. So instead, a walk. Where? Well, I haven’t been down to the Baylands for a while. Alone? Well… On the spur of the moment I dialed Joanne’s room and she was in and said she would be happy to join me. So we drove down to the Baylands and it was a lovely day, the tide was in, and over a thousand Shovelers were sitting in a quarter-mile raft of ducks on the water. I couldn’t remember which duck they were, but a guy with binoculars was happy to identify them for us. I remember Shovelers from Baylands walks with Marian, but always as a scattered few among other ducks. But this was a massive crowd of them.
