What are you up to lately?

• Stuart – Some gardening at last. Doing some more e-learning of Audigy and DaVinci Resolve. Several library board items coming up this week.
• Derek – Celebrated some birthdays in the family today, had a meeting with residents in newer subdivision last Friday, prepping for Wednesday’s Council meeting, will work on booking a few guests this week. Just tried out Google Translate and found out that my Japanese is good enough for it to transcribe and translate to English!
