Yeah, about that supper in my room? I had completely forgotten that I had agreed to join Susan and Harry and Peter for supper Sunday night. I didn’t notice that the message light was blinking on my house phone, from when Susan called from the lobby to remind me at 5pm. I just completely spaced out on this commitment. After playing the phone message at 8am today, I feel like a complete schmuck. I stood up my friends for no reason.
So we had the resident association meeting. These are really interesting, not a chore. It’s the point where all the resident directed things come together and get reported. New residents are introduced, by other residents. Various other committees report. Joanne got up to talk about Scribble and Sketch, appealing for contributions. Then Rhonda reports on what she wants residents to be aware of. Then by convention, all staff leave the room, and the floor is open for questions and comments by anybody about anything.
Afterward I spotted Harry in the lobby and I was able to apologize for being such a klutz, standing them up last night. Then off to FOPAL. There were 5 boxes of donations to process and a final tidy-up of the shelves. That took 2:30. I just barely got back in time to order lunch before orders cut off at 1:15.
Quiet afternoon. Well, emails. Back last November I gave a talk (Day 6.344) about 1975 when personal computers were invented. Resident David M. is on the speaker committee for a Men’s Fellowship organization and he recruited me to give my talk to them. That will be a week from tomorrow. They meet weekly so tomorrow he and I will attend this week’s meeting. So I spent some time getting shit together for that.
