Still feeling pretty covid-miserable, but it's getting to be the end of the year, and I think that sending out a progress report to pals and funders (that will also serve as a public progress report once we have the website) would be a nice year-end tradition to maintain.

I had originally thought that the website might be done by the end of the year and we'd be linking to that, but it turns out that publishing eight years of unprecedented work in a novel way will take a bit more time.  So this would be a pre-website progress report.

I don't exactly have a format in mind yet, but it might look like a scrapbook with a lot of photos and short captions under them.  (For the public version, the photos will all link into the archive, once we have the archive.)

I put together an initial outline of significant 2022 work.  Let me know if I left anything out, etc.
