Taxes! I have all my 1099’s and Realized Gain and Losses forms, so this morning I started filling out the accountant’s workbook. I had to break off at 10 to meet Stew and David G2 on the 11th floor. (Really we have too damn many David’s around here — it must have been THE most popular baby name in the 1940-1950 decade. This is David Green, as opposed David G1, Golden, not to be confused with David M. Morrison and David T. Thornton.) DG2 and Stew had compiled a playlist of 60s songs for the Good Times committee after-party tonight. DG2 had the songs on his laptop and we were to test the setup for sound.
That turned into a clusterfuck. I intended to connect his laptop to the hifi receiver in the TV lounge, from which we can put sound on speakers around the room. Except his laptop didn’t want to talk to the receiver. I went and got my own laptop, and it connected, no problem. But his wouldn’t and after half an hour of f’ng around I opted to go down to the auditorium and get one of our monitor speakers, bring it up and connect his laptop direct to that. Which finally worked.
After lunch I finished the tax workbook, uploaded all the files to the accountant’s Sharefile site, and emailed my rep at the firm. Taxes: done.
In the afternoon I practiced “Nobody Knows You” and made a clean song chart with the chords properly spaced to reflect how they change with the words of the lyrics.
Had dinner with Mary Andrew and John (sounds like a 70s folk group). Then off to the Good Times after-party. David G2’s playlist was very appropriate and sounded good. The committee chairs gave out award certificates to everybody and we all clapped. It was nice.
