Out of a Bluesky…a snap of what I was doing 7 years ago! I’ll be doing that again at the end of this week (but without Mom and Jane :-( )

Flying DUB->SFO->AUS today as the first day of 10 weeks’ travel. I’ll be in AUS the rest of March, then LA to do more sorting of the Momibilia for a week, then to Japan to study Saori Weaving and to visit with InnerSource Japan. Luckily Mark and Autumn will be taking care of my house and my Gibson.

My beautiful, funny, self-possessed Mom has died. She was the last of her generation at 92 and a small powerhouse up until earlier this year still walking around the neighborhood daily. She “died in her sleep” as they say. We were hoping to see her one last time at Christmas, but instead… (1/3)

My first “real” post here will be a series of observations from a session at the (Irish) National Open Research Forum

Follower counter isn’t keeping up yet. 12 (this morning) isn’t a lot, but it’s 100% more than the 6 people following me last night (my first night on Bluesky. Known bug?

Okay, here’s another picture of Ireland being beautiful. If you’ve only been to Dublin, you’ve not seen Ireland!

Having a look around…here’s a shot from the Burren yesterday. Orchids up <3
