this evening after work i went to interlachen country club in edina. there was a university of iowa alumni event being held there, a presidential reception. first time at this venue. there was valet parking available but i parked my own car. i was recognized there by somebody who asked if i still did stand-up. i said i had cut back due to the pandemic. i am ambivalent about being recognized for this reason. because there are times when people obviously value me differently and only think of me in these terms and i am anything but one dimensional. there was appetizers at this event, had some of the cheese and crackers. but i ended up having a sandwich at a holiday gas station after it was over. before the event i went to look around at 50th and france as i liked going to see movies at the theater over there. except it looks like it is still closed, and looking inside the window it won't be open anytime soon as it is still under construction. although the big sign said 'we will be back this summer'. i bought 2 postcards at a nearby boutique. it was a place i had first seen at the airport but according to online searching this is the only location now. at work there was more action on the ticket for the check printer that had been stalled for weeks. a fuser, or maintenance kit, arrived, found at the branch. sounds like a technician will be inspecting the unit next morning. at the end of the day i was called again by the retired employee, even said i was on my way out. i said i had set aside 9 envelope boxes and will put them out by the employee entrance next morning. i didn't want to leave them out until i had heard from them again. in the evening i went on a walk and found 67 cents.
