That started with a 7:30 a.m. Co-op meeting &#8211; we looked at the audit report, which was actually a lot more interesting than it sounds. I actually wish the regular BoD meetings could be more like this finance committee meeting was. We had to go sign some papers in front of a notary, after &#8211; the application for the co-op&#8217;s liquor license for the new store on the other side of town. I misunderstood about what credit union the notary was at, so I drove, but I could&#8217;ve biked. Still, I used the opportunity to get the old eMac brought to work &#8211; I drove into the parking garage under my office, and got a cart to get the computer up the 4th floor. The IT guys think they might have a use for it, and if not they&#8217;ll send it to the university&#8217;s surplus. I didn&#8217;t want to pay to park, so I headed over to the ramp where I have a permit, but I couldn&#8217;t find my hangtag pass, at least in traffic, so I went to a city ramp instead. We just got our new passes &#8211; the parking year is September thru August &#8211; so I was afraid I accidentally tossed the new one in the trash or recycle along with the old one.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moneyaccumulator.com\/images\/Apple-eMac-800Mhz-MoneyAccumulator.com_.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>John came up from Milwaukee to take his broken computer to DoIT. Here&#8217;s the gap. We got coffee at the Peet&#8217;s in the Union, then we had to circle computer science for awhile to find a parking spot. Dropped that computer, and went home to get my <a href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/2010\/09\/05\/new-imac\/\">new iMac<\/a> to loan to John. It took the two of us &#8211; both college graduates &#8211; 20 minutes, and we had to watch a YouTube movie to figure out how to get that iMac back into the box.<\/p>\n<p>Packed up hummus &amp; pita &amp; tabouli &amp; leftover pizza for John (and some hummus for my lunch), then I had him drop me at the parking ramp, and he headed back to Milwaukee. And the parking pass was hiding in the pocket on the side of the door behind a big wad of napkins. John texted me while he was setting up the iMac, and now I think he&#8217;s gonna want to keep it.<\/p>\n<p>I was gone from work from 11:30 to almost 1:00. And stayed till 5:40. And it was too late to do the bank deposit that I couldn&#8217;t do at 12:50, because the line was too long. And the city ramp cost $10.00. So it seemed like a good idea to start a batch of veggie broth, then bike to the <a href=\"http:\/\/firstcongmadison.org\/index.html\">church<\/a> to vote, and pick up an order of Pad Thai for dinner. Even though I couldn&#8217;t mail the check to my CSA because I forgot to put a stamp on it, and I still couldn&#8217;t do the bank deposit.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>posted from my iPhone &#038; Mark&#8217;s iPad <br \/>(John&#8217;s got my home iMac, remember &#8230;)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not Barbara Kingsolvers newish book, that I am trying to read, but instead, a hole or gap in my day.
