Thursday: Like much of the country, we are experiencing cold and snowy weather. But this is not Texas! Vermont is accustomed to it; nothing unusual about what we are getting here weather-wise. It just isn't very good weather for going outside - especially the ice underfoot! So I've stayed inside, for the most part. But right now, we are at Grandma Miller's bakery stocking up on Morning glory muffins! And a little treat of a chocolate eclair. Yum!
Friday: I just had a session with Dr. Brickly. I had X-rays of my shoulders last Monday, and we went over that. Severe arthritis in both shoulders plus a rotator cuff tear in the right shoulder. He is recommending a referral to an orthopedic specialist, physical therapy for the shoulders and possible injections.
It is snowing lightly, but the sun is also trying to come out.
Andy Davis and I are going to start making little videos of segments of our Hymnology course. The basic approach will be to create thee videos that Andy can edit and combine with screen sharing and recordings, and that will be incorporated into a larger live session that will open live and close with Q&A with participants. We'll see how that works.
I've just released my little book about the life of Jerome Holland, an African-American man whom I've come to know through the Guilford Church and with whom I have met numerous times and recorded conversations in which I have asked him questions about his life, pretty much covering his whole life. The book consists of transcriptions of those recordings plus an Introduction and a Time-line of his life. I made copies for him and his family, but he has ok'd making it more widely available through the church, and so far at least a half-dozen people have expressed interest.
