I'm still here.
2023. The 55"TV died. The microwave died. My printer died. My job died. Something on the car that cost $165., died. Molly's vet bills were $375. Don't want Molly to died. O! Dianne's heart nearly died. Had to get another tablet. 'cause one of our others died. and my employment insurance is going to died soon.
So I resurrected my handyman business. Got some cards, mag signs for the car, lawn sign. Traveled the town delivering business cards, in the middle of January.
Trouble is, the cars too dirty to put the mags on. The ground is to hard to put the sign in anywhere.
And this town rolls the streets up for the winter.
So what I achieved in 2023, was to get to 2024. 😊
God bless if you've got this far because I do like to talk.

I adapted to my first year in Middle school, memorized the school layout, and went to India for the first time in 10 years to see my family. I ate and became obsessed with Indian sweets, had my innocence broken, and got over an unhealthy crush!

I started FACES OFTHE EAST VILLAGE
I have been inspired by the organization called Faces of Mankind (www.facesofmankind.org) for a few years now. I wanted to join them… my goal was to open a chapter in New York City… but I never got a response from them.
A few weeks ago, I went out on my own visiting the homeless individuals and encampments in the East Village asking these people to be part of MY OWN “Faces of the East Village”.
To my surprise and delight, every one I interviewed agreed to let me photograph and paint their portraits. The subjects will be the recepients of the proceeds from the sales of the paintings.
It will take awhile, as I am alone in this…and I will have to beome a legal Not-For-Profit.
However, I am undaunted, and have begun my first painting…Eduardo.
It has been quite humbling to hear people’s stories about how they got where they are.
I hope you will check out Faces of Mankind…it is quite remarkable.
