Sulked around after breakfast waiting for one o'clock. I had kept getting "no signal" for the channels I pay for (Netflix, etc.) and had been told the guy from Yandoo Communications would come between 1:00 and 5:00. That meant it was possible I wouldn't get to dinner Soaring Spirits and that was annoying. However, I did start reading The Story of Ventnor, N.J., which my nephew had lent me. At this point, I'm in the early days, but am greatly enjoying it.
Happily, Justin from Yandoo came at 1:30 and quickly remedied the situation. The problem was that the major plug had pulled loose from the wall. Now, this seems so minor--why couldn't I just plug it in again? Because, as Justin mentioned and I've noticed with other outlets, it's extremely difficult to get plugs for electronic devices into the outlets. It's hard to do it with this laptop, too. Anyway, he got it in, but mentioned how difficult it was. If he, a strapping young man about six feet tall, found it hard, how could little me do it? Answer: I can't.
Anyway, it's fixed and that meant I could go to S.S. after all. Walked to Telephone, bused to the B & N shopping center, stopped at Whole Foods for tangerines, then went over to the Stone Fire Grille. There were only five of us--a small group for us--but we had a good, congenital time, as ever. We broke up about 7:30 and Vera took me home.
