I don't think I fall into that category yet. I've only got three Zoom meets scheduled this week. One was for a writing-as-therapy group yesterday, another is a mental health check tomorrow. The third was André Picard getting interviewed for the Ottawa Public Library and the Ottawa International Writers' Festival.

Andre? Like, the same Andre I used to meet at conventions in the *mumbles decade*? How cool! Was that recorded?

I had two disability and healthcare policy Zoom meetings I actively participated in yesterday, and I was pretty wiped out. There was an "Adapting Comics for Visually Impaired People" panel at 8 P.M. that I had signed up for, but just could not make, so I'm hoping I can fidn a recording, but I spent hours this morning, nobly assisted by Alexx, getting my new iPhone activated and the info from my old iPhone transferred.

I did help the Apple disability helpkine tech support person learn many new things about how a blind person experiences the iPhone interface with VoiceOver, though, so that was fun.. Now I need to back away slowly from the computer.

Good on you for doing writing therapy--I would like to hear mroe about that sometime.

If he's the same one who writes medical/health care opinion columns for the Globe and Mail and CBC News, then yes, I believe it was recorded and will be available via the WritersFest podcast series.

As for writing-as-therapy, this one's jointly run by the Toronto Writers' Collective and the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre. It's helped me focus on poetry in particular this past half-year.

How inspiring that you helped the Apple tech!
