With the mandatory “sheltering in” I have been inspired to go through old files, boxes and albums, something like an archeological dig in that one finds layers of one’s past in receding order. Much of Thacher, with pictures of the soccer team, the upper school, glee club Los Trobadores with Van and Barbara Griggs, etc., […]

In the last few months, I have taken up work as the accountant for a non-profit that works on creating more affordable housing, while supporting existing projects. I’m still in Seattle, protesting and resisting all of the nonsense, and continuing to run my labor-of-love non-profit GeekGirlCon. When I get any free time, I spend it […]

As I write this, my education corporation, Projects, Inc., approaches the half-way mark in its contract with Maine’s Passamaquoddy Indian tribe to assist them with economic development in the maple syrup industry. What an honor it has been to both lead and follow, leading in industry marketing and technology, and following in cultural immersion. It’s […]

After retiring from teaching in 2011, I have been able to devote myself full time to a couple research projects, as well as Sarah. The most exciting project right now is unraveling the early history of the solar system from a unique meteorite we collected from far eastern Russia. Lincoln Hollister CdeP 1956

Having […]

Things are still busy with the winery project. I had promised Seana we would be in the construction clear for at least 8 years when we completed the first phase in 2011. However, we are about to dig a new cave for additional barrel storage – most of our production is custom crush for other […]
