fter my triumphant post of yesterday, I very nearly forgot to write a blog post today! I blame the fact that I have actually written a blog post today, it just wasn’t for this blog. My Toastmasters club has a website where a recap of each week’s meeting gets posted. Up until recently, there’s been…

I’ve signed off on the paperwork to officially donate it to the archive, and started the process today of sorting out which entries are actually earthquake-related and converting them to a format that can be archived.
