First up, we are back to our customary Friday morning walks. Joanne is still using a walker to take some of the weight off her pelvis, but she walks fast and smoothly regardless. We walked a one-mile circuit with a stop for coffee.
I was just having a nice nap at noon when Tammy called to remind me that I had agreed to join her table for the BBQ luncheon. I’m a doofus. Tammy is a casual friend, she moved into CH the same week I did. Anyway joined a nice group of people. The lunch was good, too.
I went through my photo collection and picked out the shots of two striped cathedrals, Orvieto and Siena, collected them in a folder and began improving them. With new AI-based photo tools I can take a slide I scanned 15 years ago and improve it significantly, for printing. I also spent a few minutes looking over Joyce’s autobiography. It won’t be too much of a job to digitize it.
At 5:30 the 6th floor gathered in our dining room for pizza. I had to leave early to set up the auditorium. I was the designated AV person to run a movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy, at 6:45. The Party Planners had decided, why I don’t know, to show this movie 6:45 to 8:30, before the official party at 8:30. They had gotten a DVD from the public library, but I opted instead to project it from my laptop, using Amazon Prime. This worked very well.
With the movie over I put my stuff away and went up to 11 where there was the official fireworks watching party. From our roof you can see fireworks shows in about 6 different Bay Area cities. I didn’t stay long. One beer and out. Not feeling social, I guess.
