How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Annual Update

I have prepared and made a written record of my professional development plan for the period of June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023 (i.e. next year), and this is it.  Looking out over the Halifax Harbour from the Main Boardroom, the goals are to focus on M and AA, keep learning how to be a parent and balance those demands with the technological advancements of working from home while maintaining relentless quality client service.  The plan is for some specific, on-site research in the Middle East and on the African continent.  And the plan must be to remember.  What it feels like with the newborn.  What it feels like to navigate the early years of marriage amidst a move and emergence from a pandemic and welcome into the family.  And to assume the responsibilities of those retiring, the sense of stability that gave you the confidence to embark on this wholly new chapter in the first place.  Bring on a most prosperous year.
