Many thanks to Tanya McDonald for selecting my monoku for the latest issue of Kingfisher. Wonderful to see her and others at Seabeck Haiku Getaway right now. It's been so fun catching up, learning new things, and just getting to see everyone in person that I only usually see in the online world.

As much as I really want to go to the HSA Conference this year, I don't think it's in the cards for me, which is a shame since it's relatively close to me (on the same coastline at least). I might be able to swing the Seabeck Conference again this year though, so we'll see. 🤞
