Thing is, I like my job and writing about cemeteries. It woke up my dormant writing abilities and belief in them. But I keep coming back to JP Finch in H2$. Do NOT get stuck in the mailroom. This is my entry point back into the working world. I can’t stay.

Just so you know....Saturday will be special....universally speaking.

And I’ve learned about web posting and digital media and skills I didn’t need when I first left the biz.

I’m still employed and ultimately the disrespect was just a misunderstanding or at least is being framed that way to keep me in the fold. It’s a good wake-up call though for me to start applying elsewhere.

Wonderful news.

JRand. Want to write about Frances Farmer for us? Let me know. She’d be a good subject for our funerals of the famous series.

When I really started getting into my family's genealogy back in the early aughts, I took a couple of car trips around the Ohio-Pa.-W.Va. and the Hudson Valley regions to document gravesites. I got somewhat active on Ancestry and then discovered Find A Grave and even made a few contributions there. The upshot of much of that was that I got fascinated with cemeteries and the incredible beauty of some of them. The grand older ones, especially, but certain others, too. I'm afraid I've let those activities dwindle to almost a halt over the past several years in favor of other pursuits, but it's something I will return to, hopefully this very year.

Best of luck with the job search, Rodzinski.

Findagrave is an amazing resource. A older fellow from my town is very active on there. He oversaw 3 American cemeteries in Europe and had some amazing photos I used to accompany an interview I did with him.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 22, 2025, 08:28:51 AM »

Yes of course DR RODZINSKI...

Jrand74 · « **Reply #39 on:** January 22, 2025, 08:29:32 AM »

I have some inside info about the happenings at her funeral.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #40 on:** January 22, 2025, 08:31:41 AM »

I like Find a Grave....and Find a Death dealing with celebrities is also most interesting.

I've been quite active on Ancestry and Find a Grave. I've been able to learn so much about our family history that I never knew before. With DNA testing, we even discovered things that the family genealogists who had been working at this for decades before me didn't know.

You know you're a genealogist when you go see a movie set in London (Disobedience) and the main sight in the movie that you recognize is Willesden Cemetery!

Last night was our stumble-through of La sonnambula where we get the full cast and chorus together and go through the whole score. Our principals are amazing! Some of them we've sung with before, but others are new to us. This is not easy stuff for either the principals or the chorus. For chorus the music is technically simple, there's just so much of it and so many words. We're onstage for all but 25 minutes - I timed the two breaks last night.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** January 22, 2025, 08:49:30 AM »

I've gotten some DNA "hints" that I'm afraid I haven't even looked into yet, and I look forward to it.

Tonight's dinner with my director has to be rescheduled, which is fine because I have plenty to get done today.

Sometimes a cancellation is a gift, even when it's something you enjoy perfectly well.

I"m up, I'm up - maybe six hours of sleep.

Maybe.

Can't be sure.

bk · « **Reply #49 on:** January 22, 2025, 09:14:56 AM »

Who knows?

Yes, I can swim.

Just found out the shelter is open only when the temperature drops below 32. Thursday’s low is supposed to be 33, so they may take a day off. Friday and Saturday are supposed to be back in the 20s, so they’re planning for then.

Interesting. Does that include the chill factor?

I had a weird mishap tonight. I was wearing an old pair of shoes that keep my feet warm. I haven’t worn them in years. Apparently they were old enough for the glue to have given up the ghost. The entire sole of my right shoe fell off.

I'm glad they were able to repair your shoes. It kind of make sense that a shelter would have industrial strength spray glue for repairing shoes.

Jane · « **Reply #54 on:** January 22, 2025, 09:27:39 AM »

DR John you have reminded me I should look for my silk sock liners to keep my feet warm in the winter.

Jane · « **Reply #55 on:** January 22, 2025, 09:28:25 AM »

Thank you DR Jeanne. Stay safe and fire free vibes to you.

It’s really a day center for the homeless. On those 350 days of the year that it’s warm.
