...and then it's the end of august. happy closing to another wonderful season of hot and humid days. the garden tomatoes are thick and juicy, and i'm still chuggin' along as a hospice nurse. LOVE my job, hate the paperwork. how are you? a quick update from my micro speck of the universe is that our taiji school offers another round of free intro classes and a beginner series in september; the arts org i manage changed it's name and we're doing an arts fest in may, 2026; and i got bit by a sea lion in galápagos islands in july. oops. onwards and upwards, fellow humans. i hope the following info inspires and at least entertains. peace. |
