Too much trouble to think of a headline for a varied day. Started with the delightfully habitual walk with Joanne. Line dance class was canceled this week, which was good, because I had a date to rehearse Supercalif-etc. with Susan, and Mary Robell coaching us. That went pretty well. Then at 11, the AI interest group, in which I am kind of losing interest. The others in the group are all about how can we help Channing House staff learn about and exploit AI and robots. In my view, CH staff does not want and won’t listen to, our helpful observations.
After lunch I worked on good times videos, and later on collecting my music files and getting them imported into the new iPad.
Broke off from that to visit Pam, who has decided she doesn’t want to do the oncology thing, chemo etc., to try to extend her life. She has put herself into Hospice care and is very frank about dying soon. She is clear-headed and matter-of-fact about it. “My organs are breaking down, my heart doesn’t want to talk to my liver, or something. Anyway, whatever.” She has a friend in North Carolina who is terminal with pancreatic cancer, and says “But I think I’m going to beat her to death.”
