It was a pretty quiet week – which is not necessarily a bad thing…until it comes to updating this blog.
I was on my lunch on Wednesday and heard a nearby school test their Civil Defence siren. However, since there was an announcement, both before and after that sounded to me like Charlie Brown’s teacher, combined with the fact that everything didn’t turn to nuclear ash about an hour later, I’m guessing that it was indeed “only a test.”
I have continued to chip away at some of the items on my “Project 56” which was described in greater detail in the previous section (see below). Of course, I’m never satisfied with how much work I have accomplished on any such project, but I did manage to work towards a couple of major pieces of the Project and hope to do a few more over the weekend.
One thing I did do this week was pay a visit to the Shelf Life offices and picked up several new books and copies of the June/July issue. I will be making updates to the website with excerpts from the issue over the weekend but feel free check out the current version.
I made a joke on Facebook last weekend that my Mom was getting more done than I was and, as always, it’s true. I was getting my Project 56 outline prepared while she was out painting half the house. Her work continues as she painted the garage door (and fixed the lock on it) and started on the fence that separates the front and back lawns. The weather didn’t cooperate for more painting so now she’s rearranging her kitchen.
So that’s as much as I am really going to post this time out. As always, however, if you read this – and actually know me – and want to discuss anything covered above (or below), chat me up on Facebook Messenger or via email.
