Its been a
while, and I
have been super
busy with things. It seems as
though no matter
how much I
say I
am going to do absolutely nothing,
the day never turns out like
that...
Weird,
huh?
So
what,
more pricisely,
have I
been up to?
1: big foot
This weekend, I
was invited to come to a
meeting with some people who have dedicated their lives and
most of their savings into find the sasquatch in
the Olympic Peninsula. They needed help setting
up a
website where their data, video and
audio would be
collected. I
told them I
was not a
believer,
but they said they were looking forward
to convince me!
However,
after looking at my new schedule with courses and
stuff, I
realized it was not
possible for
me to do it... Super
sad,
but hopefully I
can still
help them out in
some way.2: Ljusdalsnytt
My wonderful ex pupil, now broadcaster extraordinare Iris Ash wrote an article about me for Ljusdals tidning - but she wanted some shots from Washington and our new place, so I managed to put some together and sent them to her. I really hope she picks this one with Jon, it is so wonderfully cheesy.
3: Radio x 2
First of all, I
am coaching some bright young students from
Tallbacken in
the art
of doing radio
shows. We meet on Skype, and
together they are hopefully going to have a show
on Radio Ljusdal,
our community radio station.
Second, a
group of dedicated people in Port
Townsend are in
the process
of starting
up a radio station
there. It is
going to sound a
little bit like
NPR, a
lot of talk, a
lot of good music,
it is all super
exciting and
they needed someone who had done a bit
of radio
before. Well, I
have some time on my hands, and I
love doing this stuff, so I
am volunteering there and
will help them train DJs and
board operators and set
things up in general.
You check check
them out here. A
little warning though -
their website has some music playing in
the background.
4: HORSES!!
Today, I got
the best
phone call -
it was our neighbor across the road,
who wanted someone to go riding with. Two minutes later, I
was there, and
we went for a
wonderful ride around the area.
The sun was shining, I
had to learn how on earth Western riding works...
It was great. Being someone who has only done English ridning,
it was a
little bit
tricky,
but I
am sure I
will figure it out. I
rode the horse on the left in
this pictures,
Abby. I
hope this becomes a
regular thing,
it was so
wonderful and
our neighbor is
soo sweet.
