First up, a long hike. Joanne had selected Windy Hill Preserve, the trailhead off Portola road back of The Sequoias, another large senior residence. I’d never done this. Joanne the Other One and her partner Erika joined us. JtOO did know the trail and led us out for 2 miles, when we agreed we had had enough. That was rough, it was mostly uphill for 2 miles and quite steep in parts. Then two miles out, turn around, downhill 2 miles back. I was beat, frankly. Took an ibuprofen and a nap after lunch.
While walking and talking, about restaurants, and I remembered Indochine, nice Thai place in Midtown. Joanne says, didn’t you take me and Patty there a while ago? Later, check blog, yeah, It was Day 4.155, in May 2023, 2+ years ago. Which is weird, I didn’t think I even knew Joanne two years ago. Must have just met her?
Anyway, at 3pm I met with John and Ian to talk about some details of two events that Ian has signed up to run. I wanted to be sure he knew about the repaired choir mics, and about how to get a zoom recording of a book talk next week.
Then at 4pm, it was the second session of the naming and branding of the new satellite. The prior meeting I learned the address of it a week before the official reveal. Now I know the official name and logo it will have. I’m under NDA on that like before. I will say the logo is pretty. The name… well, it has to have a name I guess.
