For the record I did not go to the gym this morning. I did go to the auditorium meaning to experiment with the new mixer board and get some pictures. I got the pictures but found a couple of issues, which I reported to our IT guy. But I can’t continue my writeup until those issues are resolved somehow. So back to clean up the apartment because it’s housekeeping day, and then spent some time working over some pictures. During the hours standing behind the table at the VCF I got interested in the women I was seeing. Women were (of course) a minority but they seemed to have a certain look. So I started sneaking candid shots with the phone. Phone camera is a great way to get candids, because, you know, everybody is always playing with their phone, right? Which happens to be an excellent camera. Here are a couple of the better ones.
Nerdy women, I love them to the bottom of my sexist old heart.
Then the writers meeting. And I went downstairs and was just going into the dining room with the Allens to sit down when I got a text from Joanne, saying, she was going to walk to the Edgewood market, did I want to join her. Well, yeah, so I told the Allens I had suddenly remembered a meeting, and zipped off to grab a hat and sunglasses and joined Joanne for what turned into a 3.5 mile walk. About 1:20 I remembered that I had a date with Peter and Brian for 2pm to teach them how to show movies. So we had to walk the 1.5 miles back faster than we might have done normally, but no problem, I can keep up with Joanne, barely.
So spent an hour showing Peter and Brian, who are the new self-appointed Tuesday Night Movie Committee, how to show a movie and run the sound system. Later I edited 2 more chapters of Joyce’s book; nearly done with it now. Then supper, and then to see the movie that Peter and Brian had picked to open with, The English Patient. Which is 2:45 long, so finishing at 9:45 which is my bedtime usually.
