Cleaning House and Walking around the Mall!

The first week off of 2026 is going by quickly. I’ve visited Toastmasters clubs, gone swimming, and went to the gym. Compared to my Fall 2025 vacation, it feels a little bit lacking.  However, I’m not labeling this vacation week a bust even though things could have been better. I made a trip to aContinue reading “Cleaning House and Walking around the Mall!”

First Toastmasters Meeting in a High School Classroom!

It was the night… that almost wasn’t. The plans on this Tuesday of my vacation week included a visit to the South Hills Toastmasters Club.

Cutie’s and Church!

Bible Study at Cutie’s is back, and this time it may be complemented by a return to regular church attendance.
