Tonight's photo was taken in February of 2008. That weekend we took Mattie for a walk on Roosevelt Island. The Island was like nature's classroom and playground for Mattie. On each walking adventure, Mattie would find and claim either a stick, rock, acorn, or leaf. These items would come home with us and Mattie would add them to his pile in our common's area. I can't tell you how many things Mattie collected over the years. In any case, every time we pass the rocks on the Island, I always remember Mattie climbing them and exploring.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 28,594,583
- Number of people who died from the virus: 513,052
It is that time of year when I turn my attention to our Foundation's Walk website. As it typically needs to be reset and updated for our annual May fundraiser. Today I learned that the platform our website used to sit on has been retired. The company has migrated to a whole new and improved system! Sounds good, right?
I have mixed feelings about this news! Certainly I understand the need to improve technology, that will hopefully benefit our supporters who use the system, but from my standpoint, I now have to invest a lot of time in learning this new platform. Everything from designing the website from the ground up to all the administrative work on the backend that I need to manage like donations, registrations, and raffle tickets. So from my perspective it is a lot of work, work that I hadn't planned on, yet must be done. I started the learning process today, but I am just not happy about the change!
