Earlier this fall, I took on a new role as Manager of Senior Programming at the Hudson Valley Community Center in Poughkeepsie, NY. Like any part-time position in a nonprofit organization, it’s been almost a full-time job, which is why I haven’t been posting too frequently lately. Once the new year gets rolling though, I expect ElderSparks will see more action and inspire new writing. Although my current responsibilities are rewarding enough, I miss making art with seniors who have cognitive impairment. One secret I’ve pretty much kept to myself these last few years is how much fun it’s been to finally find other adults to play with.
On that note, I wish everyone a merry Christmas and delightful New Year.

What a lovely post, Alan. I wish you peace and a very happy and healthy New Year!
I hope the new job is settling into a good part time job so you can play and write the way you enjoy. Also I hope the blizzards and thunderstorms and god knows what have not hindered you. I think we are all put out by this climate change from hell. Be well and happy valentines day. Let me knw if u come to Ptown.
