Did a few domestic chores then walked to Cafe Zoe for coffee. At lunch and again at dinner people praised the CMX event Tuesday night. It was a real hit, it seems.
At 1:30 I joined 20 others in the 6th floor lounge to hear a talk by Sarah Dean, the artistic director of the Pear Theater. Some inside info on how they go about getting right to plays and other production details. Fun fact, Theaterworks, another local production company, is “professional” in that they pay everyone, no volunteers. Because of that, they are able to get dibs on the plays they want. So Sarah would love to do Come From Away but Theaterworks got a regional exclusive.
Then I walked to the Apple store with my poor broken MacBook. Turns out that because I paid for AppleCare and renewed it last year, my new screen will only cost me $99. And the battery showed up as under 80% capacity (78% exactly) so they will replace the battery as well. Only down-side: it will take 5-7 days. So I came home and spent an hour getting all the web sites and other things I access back up on Old Faithful, an “early 2015” model that I had kept around as a spare. It works fine.
Evening, we had a movie, another documentary in the UNAFF (United Nations Association Film Festival) series that our resident Social Justice Committee is running. This was Surviving the Silence, about the troubles of lesbians serving in the US Army.
