Really felt like a productive day. Got a lot of little things done I’d been thinking about doing.

Most of that in the morning before 10, along with tidying the apartment and sorting my laundry. At 10 I took over the as host of the zoom meeting for the writers group so Betty could head off on vacation. The prompt this week was “taking advice” and the only thing I could think of was a piece I wrote back in ’21, about me in 1968 learning the important diagnostic principle of “think stupid” (the more modern version of that is, when you hear hoofbeats, think ‘horse’ not ‘zebra’). So I found that and gave it a fast edit and had something to read.

Then did the laundry and something else. At 3 had a meeting with Bert and Craig and the new tech czar, a very cheerful fellow. I was thinking, that was about it, right? Then remembered I was supposed to be setting up dinner with Joanne and me and our new neighbors so I did that, and they accepted, so I reserved a table for that night. Thinking, well, pretty well cleared your list now, right? Well, no, what about this idea for group listening to contemporary music? So I put some actual thought into that, and decided on “fourth tuesdays” and made some notes and I can get that scheduled tomorrow.
