  1. #ScribesAndMakers 20 April: Have you ever read or performed your work in front of an audience?

    Yes. Many years ago I performed in a couple of short children's plays I wrote.

    During the second half of my working life, 28 years, I was Tourism Director for my town and created several historical walking tours and programs that I delivered weekly or monthly from spring to fall. Most recently was a program at the historical Fort Phoenix, the fun, entertaining, and educational "Pirates & Privateers" presentation. The script of the program included stories about the fort, local privateering during the Revolution, and life during the 1770s. It was held every Friday morning, weather permitting, in June, July, August, and September from 2016 through 2025.

    The photo is my adult child and me portraying Caleb the powder monkey and Greybeard, a privateer during the Revolutionary War.

  2. Town widening and cleanup of my street in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts late this afternoon, four days after #Blizzard2026. This one pile of snow at the foot of our driveway filled a whole dump truck. #Dog for scale.

  12. An ornamental grotesque on the Unitarian Memorial Church, a scaled down example of an English Perpendicular Gothic Cathedral in #Fairhaven, #Massachusetts, which was built in 1901 by Standard Oil Co. industrialist Henry H. Rogers in memory of his mother.

    Italian stone cutters were brought to America for this project. The main structure was built of locally quarried granite. The limestone for the carvings was shipped from Indiana. The roof tiles are red slate.

  13. I’ve become romantically involved with a hologram, if that’s possible.

    Tell me what happened.

    Oh, you know the story… girl meets boy, girl modifies boy’s subroutines. 🍀

    I use my local #cemetery (created by the grandfather of President FDR in 1850) in three ways--for relaxing walks with the dog, for discovering and enjoying old #gravestone #art, and for finding character names for my writing. The third is particularly helpful because the fictional town in my work in progress is located where I live, so the dates on the graves help suggest popular local names for characters of different ages and historical times.

  25. A Tombstone Tuesday offering. This is the tombstone of Lt. Jonathan Delano who settled in Fairhaven, MA (then Dartmouth) in the 1600s. He was the son of Philippe de Lanoy, who arrived in Plymouth in 1621 on the Fortune, and cousin of John Cooke, a passenger on the Mayflower. Delano was an ancestor of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who frequently visited his grandfather's home in Fairhaven.

    Lt. Jonathan Delano died in 1720 in his 73ed year. He was buried in Acushnet Cemetery

  30. Today at the Saturday marketplace I run in my hometown, a vendor was selling native plants. I bought a New York Aster from her and walked about 50 yards to the building where my office is located. In that time, this happened.
