Started the day in the best way, by walking the usual route but with Joanne for company. Then sat down and began the process of assembling the Good Times Valentine Day video. (Hereinafter, just VDV.) Immediately found a couple of issues I need to take up with other people on the committee, but got some stuff done.
After lunch I helped Patty and Gwen figure out how to show movies from Gwen’s laptop to Patty’s big LG TV. Then I went down to the auditorium and played around with the equipment, verifying some things and setting up for the AV committee meeting. Which started at 4. We quickly got all the February events assigned, then hashed out some other issues.
Had supper with Joan (not Joanne), Andrew and Mary. Then into the Auditorium again to set up for a lecture by Peter, quite entertaining, on the great Hungarian Hyper-inflation of 1945-7 which he saw as a child. At one point the government was tired of printing all the zeros on a 1,000,000 Pengo note, so they invented a new note where 1 milliard meant, 1,000,000. Soon after they issuing 1,000,000-milliard notes. He had pictures of the full series of banknotes, from the 1,000 Pengo bill to the one that represented 10 to the 16th power.
