It is Thursday, July 2, we are the half way mark of the year. 182 days have passed and there is still 182 days before the end of the year. It is an opportune time, especially with the upcoming holiday weekend to pause and reflect what the first half of the year you might have accomplished, and what you would like do for rest of the year. For me, the first half of 2026 was challenging, so I look forward to smoother times and focus on neglected research projects. On a bright note I have 90%of photographs selected for the 2027 calendar. Yesterday, a subscriber delivered a four drawer legal file cabinet to my new abode. My holiday weekend will consist of unpacking boxes to fill that cabinet.
