Wow. We are remarkably similar in our interests and where we devote our time. Why the 1880 census? That must take a lot of research. I wonder if there is anyone doing that here in Delaware? I'm going to ask some of my friends. I'll look it up to see the answer to why 1880.

And one more thing...how in the world did you get to 1K+ followers on bsky? I suck so much at social media. Do you just reply to other people's posts?

Hey, I'm going to switch topics here. I did some work recently with St. John's County on some signage and a booklet for the Black Heritage Trail. I did the writing for it. I'm quite proud of how it turned out. If you come across it check it out.

Oh, that's sooooooo important. Teenagers are just left on their own so often. That's good work that she's doing. Is she funded by the state? My northeast-influenced impression of Florida is that the state doesn't do so many social programs.

No writing for me. I am getting so many submissions for the kaidankai & doing other podcasts based on my new interests. Did your wife stop volunteering? I find it to be so interesting and helpful. She doesn't have to be at hospice, though, if she doesn't like it.

That's a lot! It must be satisfying to illustrate your wife's story. The perfect creative team. I am now a death doula, which means I'm ostensibly helping people at the end of their lives. But, in Delaware, they don't get it, so I mostly volunteer at hospice & educate the public. It keeps me busy.

Hi. It's me Linda from the Kaidankai podcast. As with all my social media, I'm here but in name only. I say every week that I'm going to focus on getting better at this, but it is so low on my priority list. How about you? Still writing?

Always!!! Always, always, always, always!!!! I saw that Lisa Cook actually declared one of her homes as a vacation home, so literaly, there is no there there.

Ugh. I'm trying. I'm really trying to think of a good reason, but Im coming up blank.

Thank you. It's a great story. One of my favorites.
