It’s January already – what??!!?!
I cringe looking back at my 2023 wrapup post where I laid out all kinds of ambitious sub-projects toward, and including, actual writing for the book. To be brutally honest, I can’t say I finished much of anything last year. Which isn’t to say I didn’t do anything related to this project, but combined with a lot of personal concerns, things didn’t work out anything like I planned. So with that in mind, instead of concentrating only on what I did (or didn’t do), I’ll work in a retrospective on the year that was in Carpatho-Rusyn Pennsylvania.

| Had a great time and represented my work along with the Carpatho-Rusyn Society at the Johnstown Slavic Festival in September. |
Many of these things I highlighted on my Facebook page as they happened. (I did post about a dozen times to my Instagram page as well.)
