I think I’ve begun to get the hang of these virtual Zoom meetings. I attended my second one for Greensburg Wednesday night. We had a great turnout with 12 people in attendance.

I arrived at the North Hills Toastmasters meeting around 6:45. Before that I did a little shopping at Kohl’s and Target and this little bookstore in McCandless Crossing (not really).

Dan Hurley rememberedContinue reading “Stylish Virtual North Hills Meeting”

It was a good Easter holiday, all things considered. I watched Cornerstone’s Easter service online (a majority of the members went to the parking lot to hear the drive in church service; however I stayed home). We ate Easter dinner around 3pm.
