Started the day in an excellent way, with a walk with Joanne. We stopped for coffee and I gave her a present, an inexpensive scarf, and she gave me a miniature box of high-class dark chocolates. I emphasized “inexpensive” because she has a very explicit policy of not accepting free tickets or meals from me, always insisting on paying her own way for everything. So as I told her, I kept it inexpensive so she wouldn’t be embarrassed by it. (And it did cost less than $20.) She liked it.
Then I had not a lot to do until after lunch. About 2 I went to the auditorium and did all the tech setup for the Good Times Valentine’s Day show. Then I had more time to kill, then went to early supper at 5. Finally got to be showtime. Here’s the audience before the show.
Extreme left, Susan P, whose job was to run the display of lyrics for the sing-along numbers. Various performers and organizers in the front rows. The place was full, 80 people or so, and the show went mostly correctly. There were a few tech glitches but nobody noticed. My performance of “Annie’s Song” was well-received, a good hand after.
So that’s behind me. There are still some things to do this weekend, then my schedule opens up, and I’m glad.
