Started the day with a Friday morning muffin mosey, including up to Town and Country for a visit to Trader Joe’s. Then back to CH to join Jerry, Joanne, and Bert for a planned caroling event. The idea was to walk around the two floors of the Lee Center, assisted living and nursing, singing carols. Jerry had put out a call for volunteers and I was surprised that there were just the 4 of us. Phil joined us then dropped out, and we picked up a couple of other AL residents on the way. Went into a dozen rooms singing a carol or two in each. Appreciated. Fun.
Then I joined the AI interest group meeting in progress. Nothing being decided there. We don’t know enough and can’t get any feedback from staff on what they are doing, or want to do, with AI.
After lunch and a nap I put in an hour with the guitar. The recent bronchitis (I’m still having to stop and hork up a wad of phlegm every now and then) has left me with a lower voice than usual, which is kind of fun. Not down in Johnny Cash range, but baritone. Learning “Four Strong Winds” and a couple of others.
Early supper and then at 6:30 met with Joanne again and we walked 4 blocks to the Methodist Church for a concert by Voices of Music. This was a Vivaldi “Four Seasons” and then three other Vivaldi concerto pieces, one four four violins, and one for recorder. All of it was really top-notch, exciting music played with expert musicianship. Here’s just a taste, from their collection of videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LiztfE1X7E .
