Just a quick note to say that reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Oh, wait, that was Mark Twain. But unlike several of my all-time favorite authors, Mark Twain included, I'm still having adventures in the current realm.
When I retired, I vowed to make more things and read more books. In 2023 I made 316 cards; the only year I made more was 2020. So far this year, I'm on track for 366 cards in 366 days, but it may be a bit early to have my hopes up. Here's my first, using a a template from JessCrafts.com:
I have consistently read more books each year since I retired, but for 2024 I'm simply hoping to match my 2023 record of 60 books and 20,000 pages.
In 2022 (which you may have noticed is the last time I posted here), I was gifted a Nintendo Switch Lite and Animal Crossing New Horizons - that became a daily habit! Towards the end of last year, I realized that "play more games" should have been one of my retirement goals as well, but I don't think I'm going to quantify that one.
Watch this space for new updates - I'm hoping to blog a bit more actively this year. That won't be a difficult goal to achieve, based on my 2023 activity!
