Projects and deadlines...

I have spent the last week getting Tianna and the twins settled in St. John's but I have also managed to work on some of the important details of my final project for my Masters. One critical element is that I now have a real deadline that I am working under. Once I complete the filming I have to finish the revisions to my journal and of course complete the last chapter and the analysis. My goal is to have my journal ready for examination by the end of the month. That will allow me to be ready to drive off to Calgary where I will start on my PhD.

One thing that is fascinating for me is the interesting twists that have happened as I oepn up my work to the public and invite participation. I have to embrace the fact that it also means I surrender a measure of control over my work. Unexpected interjections from people who have a real interest in Sandy Point simply cannot be ignored. In some measure they are critical to my work. Several amazing changes have come out of an interview done by the local paper The Georgian. Now it seems the article has been picked up The Telegram in St. John's, the major provincial daily.

I don't know where this is going but the ride is getting pretty exciting.
