Patty gave me her laundry time so I could start at 8am, which I did, so it was all done by 10:30. The writers meeting was interesting. I had written about the drought of ’76 in England. Turns out, one other member had been living in London in 1976 and remembered it, and two others had written about the drought of 1976 in California.
Before supper I went up to 11 and arranged chairs for 20 people in the TV area. After supper I took my laptop up and got all set up with nice audio and a slide show of Taylor Swift pictures on the big TV. Everybody who had signed up showed up pretty promptly around 7pm and we listened to the 12 tracks of Life of a Showgirl, with a small amount of discussion between tracks. General feeling was that Taylor’s music is boring but her lyrics are interesting. And the general feeling was that it was a worthwhile session and we should do it again. Now I have a month to figure out which artist to do next. Billie Eilish? Bad Bunny?
Oh, and I broke my laptop. My nice M1 Macbook. I got the power attachment, the little magnetic thing, caught between the lid and the keyboard and smushed a black spot in the lower left corner of the screen. I can live with it for a while, but I know that it would cost a bunch to get it fixed. Well, it’s 5 years old, too. So I have to consider, is it time for another one?
