Love that date, 2025-02-25. Did a bunch of shit in the morning including squirting peppermint oil around the engine compartment of the prius. Probably pointless. Also, filed a claim on my car insurance for the $4155 bill. State Farm very helpful. We shall see what comes of it. Even half back would be nice.
Writers meeting; I had nothing to contribute. Then went out in the car shopping for large planting pots. I mean to divide and repot my giant begonias, and step one is to buy two nice pots, about 14 inches high and wide. The present plants are in really nicely decorated earthenware pots. I shopped the Ladera nursery and Wegmans and was disappointed in the small selections. Stopped at Stanford Shopping Center at the Pottery Barn. Guess what the Pottery Barn has very little of? Pottery. Did some online shopping and found that very likely Home Depot has what I want. Will check tomorrow.
At 3 I set up the audio on the 11th floor for the annual meeting of the Heritage Circle, the people (including me) who have donated to our resident-created and -managed improvement fund. Which is now pushing toward $6M, despite giving out grants left and right to improve life here. For example it provides the money to hire proper coaches to take people to SF for the symphony, ballet and opera (none of which I take advantage of).
Had dinner with Marc and Sophia and a couple of other people, nice group.
