I got up very early this morning but didn't go out for a walk. Instead, I ate breakfast more than an hour earlier than I usually do and then walked down to the central post office, getting there just before they opened shortly at 8:00, to pick up some registered mail I had received. It turned out to be my Pesach gift (a little late, I'd say) from Berlitz. It's a 250-shekel card that can be used at Shufersals (supermarkets) and most of the major mall clothing chains. It was a little warm out, so I decided to take a bus back home rather than walk uphill in the heat.

Later, I walked over to today's WIZO meeting. After our usual chatting over coffee, tea, and cake, it was time for Terry's tenor sax recital. Unfortunately, though, only 2 or 3 numbers in, the electricity went out, which killed his back-up, without which he didn't want to continue. He'll be doing it for us later this month. The pic of the day is of some pretty leaves with wood of a tree (where a limb had been cut off some time ago, I think) in the background. I thought it was rather pretty:

We left WIZO House before the power came back on. The word they got was that it was city-wide, but when I got back home, it was clear that it had NOT gone out here at all, since my computers weren't down, and the time on the microwave didn't need to be set.

I had a salad and beans and weenies for lunch at home today.

I taught only 3 units of Berlitz lessons: 2:45-3:30 and 7:00-8:30.

In the afternoon, I began watching the video lectures for my new online machine learning class, on regression. It's going to be quite interesting and perhaps a bit challenging at times, as well.

I walked a total of 6.02 kilometers today.
