Juggling act

(1989 November 8)

Went down to read Wind in the Willows to Portia [at Schmidt home]. I worried how it would work out, as one hand was needed to hold amplifier, one to hold the talking part, and one the book. But I go her to hold the amplifier and put the book on my knees and read for half an hour. She sat with a rapt expression, and I was glad, but next time 20 minutes will have to do.
