We assembled for our quarterly building meeting this morning. All the usual suspects. Nominations for President and V.P. And a budget report. Lourdes had informed a couple of neighbors at a gallery opening Saturday about Patti’s passing. They expressed condolences. Which helped. David Fought had lost his sister not long ago, and definitely related.
Less important, Lizzy had received my birthday card. She was pleasantly surprised I remembered. Suzanne looked pregnant. I didn’t ask in case she wasn’t. John O’Keefe sat directly in front of me. We did say ‘hello’. I wondered if I would still want to be married to him? Clearly, ‘No’. He walked slowly with a bit of a paunch. (I’m not exactly a speed demon). There was plenty of food. I had a bagel and cream cheese, a cup of juice, which I balanced on my lap with the budget print out. The budget was approved. It includes a small rent increase, 3%. Julie Phelps and her partner had a newborn infant in tow.
Later, Nick came over. He did the grocery shopping. Crab season has been delayed because of danger to the whales. Cross that off. He had taken a train to Santa Clara to purchase a PC. He was excited about all the programs it will open up.
That was the day thus far. If Patti can send me a message from the other side, I’ll transmit to you.
Peace.
