This was the day for me to deliver my First Monday Book Talk. I spoke for about 35 minutes, took 10 minutes of questions and comments, and that was it. About 60 people in the auditorium and they seemed to like it. Several people have said to me since that they enjoyed the talk.
When the video is ready I’ll link to it.
I immediately picked up a sack lunch I had ordered and got a Lyft down to FOPAL (Joanne needed the car to take a friend to the doctor). I worked noon t about 2:45. Called Joanne who very generously came down and picked me up. We both needed to be in the building because we had Poetry Out Loud at 4pm. My choice to read was Billy Collins’s Aimless Love.
Had an early supper and then hopped in the car and went back to FOPAL to finish up. Back home by 8. My section is now in good shape for the sale and I don’t have to think about it for a week.
