19. People time is a lot of the reason I haven't pursued that particular "when I have enough time . . . thing."

Oct 2025

I'm in classes 3 days a week (pursuing a BFA in photography), rehearsals start for the Christmas musical (White Christmas) in a couple of weeks, and I've got a dive trip planned for January. So, for now, I get enough people time.

Next up on the charity front - baking 30-ish pies for the Thanksgiving meal at a local shelter.

I spent 2/3 of my career teaching. I've had enough for now - but I still have a grandfathered secondary certificate for math, physics, and computer science if the urge should strike.
