Out the door at 7:20 to walk to an appointment at PAMF, 8am for a routine dermatology skin inspection. Couple of little bits ro burn off of my left ear and temple, but no other peculiar spots on my skin.
Then I got some coffee, and went an loitered on the corner of Homer and Emerson until the hiking party, in Joanne L’s Hyundai, picked me up. We drove to Wunderlich park and did that loop, about 4 miles and 600′ elevation change. Oh my I see I have racked up an impressive 5.6 miles and 14K steps today. No wonder I was tired and sore. Ate lunch with Joanne, then took and ibuprofen and pretty much napped the afternoon away.
Today, 2nd Wednesday, was 6th floor meeting day. This one was attended by our newest neighbors, just moving in, Soren and Gladys. Soren was a software person at Sun Microsystems, about the time I was at Silicon Graphics, Sun’s major competitor.
Dinner with the 6th floor gang. Oddly this was one of the rare clangers Dining Services puts out. Terrible meal. Anyway next up was a talk by a Stanford professor, Buzz Thompson, on the water problems of California and the West generally. I was running the AV, and Buzz about wore my fingers out. Normally speakers stay pretty much put behind the podium, but this guy was perpetually walking from one side of the stage to the other, so I am trying to track him with the camera for the benefit of a dozen people watching on Zoom. 40 minutes of panning back and forth. Oh well.
