I spent a good part of the last few weeks looking for things to do. I did a lot of volunteering, or trying to volunteer. It isn’t always easy. But today my efforts began to pay off. I am now a member of an advisory committee for the Osher program. My obligation is two or three meetings a year. I don’t know how much input I’ll have, but I get some inside dope about the program, which I love.

On Wednesday, I’ll start going to classes again. I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll be taking more classes about Japanese culture, and I plan to take a drawing class. Maybe that will inspire me to do some artwork again.
