I went up into the hot attic this morning after trying to do some debug on the playroom outlets. I decided to cut the line in the middle and see which end was bad. It turned out that the line in the wall next to the stairs was open. I went back into the attic with a drill and drilled a second hole for the wire to go down into the wall. Libbie was below and I took the roll of wire into the attic and passed the end down until Libbie grabbed it from below. I hooked it up into the box with the sockets and re-assembled the box into the wall but did not go into the attic to hook up the junction box. Took a shower and lay on the bed a while reading "New Moon Rising" until it was time to leave for the Memory for Movement Workshop. The Workshop was at 6:30 by Susan Day of the Duke Memory Lab. It was pretty good. We did some live demos trying to remember dance steps, then watched a few live videos of professional dancers and wrote down what we saw. She then gave us some tips about how to remember steps and a performance. We learned Chunking, Naming steps, Capturing a performance in our mind, doing the steps with some part of our body. This was reinforced with Castanets that she played. She also did some dance movements and had the participants try to remember the sequnce, first without names for the steps then with names. It was easier with names doing sun, cover the flowers, pet the daog, etc. After Duke we went to Thai Lanna in RTP for dinner. The wine was terrible. I have never had such bad wine, even the Merlot we ordered to replace the House Cabernet was not great. We had Spring Rolls as an appetizer then we both ordered Chicken Pad Thai. Libbie had hotness #2 and had #4 out of 5. It was really hot, the way I liked it. |
