Captain came for breakfast. Ray and I had a short walk. We drove to his office and I waited while he got what he needed and then drove to the Biology building. He is teaching a brand new class and thatt was the first day of the First Summer Short Session. He will teach every day until July 6, for about 2 hours. This will require him to prepare notes from a new book, putting in lots of hours to stay ahead of the class.

I drove to First Baptist and delivered the lunches Gere had prepared. I went to the credit union and deposited some checks. Then I went downtown and photocopied my Health Care directive (and Ray's). I met my Dad at the jewelers (Aurum) and they gave him money for a gold tooth! ($22) I went back to First Baptist and met my friend Karen K. and we delivered lunches. At one of the stops, I saw Nathan from ALT and we talked some about this year's bike race. A year ago, I was working at ALT.

I ate my lunch at River's Crossing, where there was an OLLI class I wanted to take. It was about electronic medical records, a good idea whose time has come. Apparently the implementation is lacking. In particular, there are lots of different software packages in use and they are not compatible. Also, they are not very user-friendly and doctors have some challenges to use them. Employment idea? Become a consultant instructing doctors in the use of technology, assuming they would want to pay me. The person teaching the class, who has way more credentials than I do, said she had applied for two jobs at St. Mary's to do that kind of work (she called it hand-holding), but they appear to have hired from within.

I picked Ray up, we went home, I cooked some pork and vegetables, we watched TV and went to bed. Except that I vacuumed the house and we tidied up so that two of Nancy MacNair's sisters could stay with us, Alice and Janice. They didn't arrive until about 10, so we didn't visit much.
