Started the day with a walk, which I meant to be a standard one. Before, I put on a shirt and a sweater, and stood on my balcony, and said, “sure, I can walk dressed like this in 40º temps”. So off I went with two layers and a knitted watch cap on my head. It was way too cold for that, I needed at least another layer, so I cut it short (but still 3 miles for the day).
At 9:30 I was in the auditorium for the drama club’s run-through of their five one-act comedies. From there I headed down to FOPAL, stopping to buy some groceries and power bars for lunch. Frank had texted me there were seven boxes of computer books waiting and I was determined to process them all rather than come back later in the week. I was there from 1 to 3:30, but got it done.
Gassed the car, this tank only lasted a month and got 55mpg, thanks to colder weather and me taking pains to run the engine more after having the incident with the flat 12v battery. Got back to CH right at 3:59, just in time for Rhonda’s open meeting at 4pm.
Being at the drama rehearsal I had to skip the Event Coordinators meeting, but Pam put a calendar in my cubby so after supper I filled in the February events on the shared spreadsheet. And emailed my team confirming our meeting this coming Wednesday.
Finally I did a quick edit of the video recording of the drama group rehearsal and put it on dropbox for them to download.
Tomorrow the writers meeting cue is “fire”. Time permitting I will try to find Emil’s account of the time the back part of the Ranch was threatened by a forest fire, and he threw out his back beating down flames with a wet gunny sack.
