I need some feedback on some things today–and I hope at least some of you will take the time to supply it.

First, I am thinking about new items for sale at our events this spring and summer. As some of you know, I wrote poems for Jane two or three times a year. I also have some poems on other things I have written over time. I am thinking about collecting those into a book at some point. Would there be a market for that?

Jane also collected a huge number of recipes over the course of our marriage. Would putting together the best of those into a cook book be something people would be interested in?

At a captains meeting we talked about putting together a collection of notecards with art from former students. Would people be interested in that?

We have a very simple wire and bead bracelet coming for the Greater Fall River Relay for Life event on June 22-23. Those will sell for $3 each. They did well at Bridgewater State’s Relay. What kind of demand for them might there be at Somerset? What kind of demand might there be at our June 3 yard sale at the Westport Grange?

Second, we have seen a sharp drop in views of this site over the last two months. Since this is our first year doing this I cannot tell whether that is because of the improved–unseasonably warm–weather or because of some flaw in what we are doing here. New posts to the other sections of the site do not seem to have much impact on the number of views. If I write nothing here for even a single day the numbers on all sections of the site plummet. But even when I write something lately the trend seems to be a continuing drop.

Numbers are also dropping on our Facebook page.

This may all be seasonal, as I said above. But if there are problems with the site or with the links on the site, I need to know about them. The only way to keep this operation moving forward is for people to let us know what the problems are.

If you have comments on any of the above please drop us a line

Thank you.
