It was definitely below freezing yesterday morning--about 26, I think. My fingers were cold inside my gloves! We walked E. out to the mailbox, but her ride came before we got there. We went back and got ready to go. Molli was up to say goodbye.

I dropped Ray off and took the car to his parking lot. I was worried because it didn't seem to detect my key (keyless ignition) and I thought it might die any minute. Then I was afraid to lock it, for fear I couldn't get it unlocked. I walked over to the building where my 10:00 class was and sat in the break area, looking at emails and brushing my hair.

In class, we filled out a survey about our preference for working in groups and our skills and interests. Then we practiced interviews by interviewing each other. I boldly walked to the back of the room and interviewed a football player. His name is Christian.

After class, I walked back to the car and it started right up, not giving me any trouble detecting the key. TG! I drove to the Council on Aging and went to my desk. Kate was meeting with a member. I checked the answering machine and updated the database.

The phone rang and it was my Dad! He was surprised to find me there. I had left an invitation to the cocktail party and he was responding, yes. When Kate got back, she explained to me that we had to send out forms to all the members. The officers had developed a "billing" form that must be signed, explaining all the obligations and rights. For instance, if you don't renew within 2 weeks, there is an administrative fee that is charged. Really? That seems like a bad decision to me. It sounds negative. It would be better to give them a discount on renewals. Anyway, I drafted a letter for her to send and developed a checklist form for the files, to let us know what we are missing. She is pleased with the database.

I went out to say hi to Ray when he came to get the car and I noticed my Dad's car. Of course! He plays bridge at the Council on Aging on Wednesdays. I went to find him and say hi. There were 10 people. I only knew one of them, at a quick glance, besides him. Many looked quite infirm.

As we were packing up to leave, my Dad stopped in to say hi and meet Kate. I sat in his car and chatted for a few minutes before Ray arrived. He had been to get new batteries, so I don't have to worry about my key not working! We went home. Molli had put together the casserole for potluck and let the chickens out and back in. The house was pleasant.

We went to pick up Elisa at horseback riding and then went to potluck. Lots of people, lots of good food. Great music in choir. Ray didn't stay; he went to a lecture on campus, and he was a bit late to pick us up.

At home, we went to bed after one Wheel of Fortune, very sleepy.
