• I’ve missed a couple weeks of Weeknotes. Bummer.
• I started the Runners Alley Run Club. We meet Monday and Wednesday evenings to do a group couch to 5k sort of program. We’re prepping to run the Memorial Day 5k at Casco Brewery.
• I missed the Armando performance which was the culmination of my level 201 Improv course with Stranger than Fiction. I had a fever and head-cold. I missed the performance at the end of 101 as well, as weather kept delaying it through the holidays. Anyway, I’m going to the jams as much as I can, and reading through the Upright Citizens Brigade book. I can’t make the next run of improv classes as I’m doing the run club, so I’ll have to wait for the summer run of classes. I should follow up to see what the schedule might be.
• I missed my call with Bob, so we need to get the next one on the books ASAP.

• The place I posted my fiction
• The place where I put up courses to help creative people
• The website that I used as my coaching business
• The place for my long form articles on creativity and technology
• The website where I posted MacOS and iOS tips and had a newsletter to drive people to hire me as a consultant
• The place where I posted tips and tricks to using a specific blogging platform
• A website about improv comedy

But it’s really just been sitting there. Sometimes doing the above, in part but never in full. It’s not the websites fault. It’s mine. And really it’s not a fault. I’ve bitten off more than I could chew. I don’t have the time, energy, and/or attention needed to do any of the above full time. I’m becoming OK with that. I can tinker with any of the above, and more, and not have to make a major project out of it. Just be.

Sometimes, these items I’ve posted help people. That’s fantastic, and the reasons I’ve been writing these posts. I’m grateful to have helped someone get past a hurdle (technical or otherwise).

I’m letting the Where the Light Gathers domain expire, as I just need to close the door on this chapter. I’m letting go of all the things it could have been, and that’s a bit painful. But it’s for the best so I can close a mental loop and forgive myself for not doing all the above, full time.

I’ll move the posts from that site over to this blog at some point.

• I caught up with an old friend via email, and another via a call
• We had dinner with friends at The Black Birch on Friday night- I’ll go back again
• A big stressful week came to a good end
• I’m off to a three day workshop for work. Its travel on short notice, which is always a challenge. The project sounds very interesting.
• I picked up Digital Minimalism from the Library, I’ll crack it open when I get back in town
• I saw Captain Marvel last weekend and liked it a bunch
• I saw (most) of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse this morning. Will definitely give it another go when I can give it my full attention. It was fantastic, at first glance. Really strong poses, great action, vivid colors. It looked great.

• On Wednesday I had lunch with the team from work, and found out that one of the newer folks on the team used to work with a friend of mine. This reinforced that it is indeed a small world.
• Improv has been going well, and I’m starting to understand that in “short form” you play pre-arranged games in scenes, where in “long form” you play scenes and arrange the games on the fly. Insert mind blowing gif here.
• I signed up for a beta of a new Sketchnotes course and I am woefully behind. I hope to catch up this week.
• I missed last week’s weeknotes. Doh.
