Well, for better or for worse, for good or bad, for sure, for real, this year’s work is now finished. And I for one am quite relieved. In particular because it looked like our last project, the one at St. Cecilia’s Girls’ School, wasn’t going to happen while I was still here.

In many ways, this particular project was a lot more complex than the ones we typically run. First off, it involved computers, the technical aspects of which I know very little. When I read the computer specs my mind goes numb half way down, usually around where GHTZ are mentioned. Remember all those Peanuts specials when we were growing up, and whenever an adult spoke it was always “Wa wa wawa wa?” That’s what happens to me when I read these computer specs. Thank goodness that Angela, the funder of this, is an engineer and can asses the specs at a glance.
