Weekly Update 4/10/2016

Two book club meetings this week. Monday was the library book club. Thursday was MP book club. I had read neither of the books, but I went anyway. I'll have to try to be better in May.

I was called in to DH on Tuesday as they were hosting a busload of tourists, and one person who had committed to lead the group wasn't able to make it at the last minute. No problem - I was only going to be at the pool anyway. I have been intending to go to the Georgia Historical Society Library to find out some information, so I decided this would be a good afternoon to try that. It didn't work out, however, as I didn't realize how infrequently Hodgson Hall is open. I'll try again.

Wednesday I had a tour at BC in the morning. I am usually frustrated because I arrive early, and the bus is late; I stand around wondering if I've got the day wrong. But today, the bus already in the parking lot as I pulled in. So I was able to begin right away. Which was good, since there was a lecture at TLC as soon as this tour was over. The wonderful Stan Deaton talked about Alexander Hamilton, and although I was a few minutes late, I enjoyed it. Dr Deaton is so knowledgeable and a wonderful speaker. In the evening, I volunteered at another Savannah Music Fest concert. This was a classical concert by the Danish String Quartet. It was at Temple Mickve Israel, a lovely place to sit and listen to amazing music. The ushering at this event was much easier than at the one I did last week, and I did have a chance to enjoy the music without acting as a policeman. 

 

Thursday, I slowed way down and had an opportunity to sit by the pool. I was only there for about 2 hours, but I got some nice color - red. The nice sunshine was made even better knowing that it was snowing to New York!

Friday was (what else?) DH and The 90. This is tourist season in Savannah, and the DH tours were large. I like it better that way, because the time goes faster. And it also makes a nice relaxing glass of wine or martini very appreciated!

Saturday, there was nothing on my calendar. I decided to go to the SCT performance of Go Dog Go, a Dr Seuss story. No one in the production was older than 15, so it really was a children's theater. Of course, they did a wonderful job.

And Sunday I did the regular Second Sunday Tour at BC. It was not warm, but I was quite comfortable. Again, these tours were large, and it was nice to be outdoors, walking around, and fooling people into thinking I know a lot.
