What I’m Up To
As suggested here, this is what I’d highlight if I ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in a year:
Family
- Oliver’s Stars for Life day program is now, at least for the time-being based out of our house.
- Oliver is auditing Susan Brown’s HIST 2620 Rule Britannia-Cool Britannia course at UPEI.
- I have been working hard to clear out Catherine’s studio so that a new tenant can move in the first week of November.
- It’s almost time to start cleaning up the back yard for winter, and get the snow tires on the car. Actually, it’s probably past time to start.
Paid Work
- Working remotely with colleagues at Yankee Publishing, primarily on the infrastructure supporting Almanac.com and FamilyTreeMagazine.com (this is my 24th year of this partnership).
Projects
- Writing posts for my blog as needs and interests dictate.
- Honing my trade as a letterpress printer.
- Diving ever deeper into the world of fountain pens, focusing on the monthly Pen Night in Charlottetown.
Volunteer Work
- Serving on the board of directors of Stars for Life, focusing on obtaining long-term, sustainable funding for the organization.
- Serving on the Mayor’s Task Force on Active Transportation for the City of Charlottetown; acting as co-chair and the liaison to the Parks & Recreation department.
I last updated this October 31, 2020, and have set myself a reminder to update it monthly from here onward.
