7.153 theater, practice

Sunday 05/03/2026

Morning went out on a couple of errands. Deposited a check. Went to the Apple store and bought a packet of Apple Pencil tips. When I bought an iPad last year, for displaying music while I play, I also bought the Apple Pencil. It sticks to the side of the iPad and you can write on things. Except when I finally tried it, it didn’t work. Couldn’t figure out why. Until I noticed that its tip was funny looking. Not smooth white plastic like the rest of the pencil. Finally learned that the tip, a little white plastic cone shape, screws on and off, and can be replaced. Mine had mysteriously unscrewed itself and disappeared. Leaving a little metal stub.

No problem, Apple will sell you a pack of 4 little white plastic cone shapes for $20 plus tax. So I got that and later screwed on a tip and yay, the pencil works again.

After lunch 15 of us boarded the bus to go to the Pear theater to see their play, ANON(YMOUS). This was the last weekend so no point in recommending it or not. But I don’t think I would have. Lots of skillful acting and clever stage design and directing, but in the end, I wasn’t that involved.

Back home to read through my talk again, and practice a tiny bit of guitar.
