We started the day like any other Sunday, with a quick trip to the Los Gatos Farmers’ Market in hopes of finding fish and a walk along the Los Gatos Creek Trail. Our favorite fish vendor was at the market and had the tuna we liked. I was slightly surprised that she still only takes cash (most of the vendors had signs asking people to use Venmo or other touch-free methods). My purchase was $19.75; I told her to keep the change! This was the first cash I’d spent in at least a week.

The Los Gatos Creek Trail was a little less busy than it would have been on a typical Sunday (though there were occasional clumps of people – we were able to avoid them by waiting or speeding up), and it was good to get some distance underfoot.

A few years ago, we installed can lights in most of our ceilings – at the time, LEDs weren’t available, so halogen bulbs were the preferred choice. One of those bulbs finally gave up the ghost – which means all of them are likely to go soon. I’m out of halogen bulbs, but I did have one LED retrofit can light left, so I’m OK for now, but I need more – the local Home Depot has a good supply, but I don’t want to go into the store, so I ordered six for delivery late this week (I hope).

I had two Zoom meetings in the afternoon – one for Shir Hadash and one for Toastmasters. I haven’t had two conference calls in a row since leaving IBM – at least these were effectively run and produced results!

Dinner was a take-and-bake pesto pizza from Tony & Alba’s. Yummy!

We stayed out of stores today! We had plenty of food on hand that was ready to be cooked, so there was no need to shop.

We did take our usual two walks – I see more and more people on the streets and sidewalks every day, keeping a good distance from each other.

We attended Torah Study via Zoom this morning; I thought it went fairly well (though some people treated us to a view of their ceilings the whole time). Rabbi Aron even broke us into small groups for a short discussion, something which wouldn’t have happened in person – but some of the groups didn’t really have critical mass. Diane and I used separate computers to join – we’re going to see if we can figure out how to set up in one place next week.

In the evening, we watched [Silicon Valley Shakespeare(http://svshakespeare.org)’s broadcast of As You Like It (Act I and Act II); we’d seen that production but probably not that specific performance. Good times!

And we bought virtual tickets for TheatreWorks’s showing of They Promised Her The Moon. It was a play we wanted to see, but the timing wasn’t going to work – now it does.

I also got back to work on culling photos – I am up to August, 2000! It may take a while….
