I was talking to a friend and saying that in some way I&#8217;ve &#8220;retired from public life&#8221; meaning that I do talks locally but I do not hit the librarian circuit anymore. It&#8217;s been pretty good. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.librarian.net\/talks\/videotrust\/vt\/index.html\">I gave one online talk<\/a> which I really enjoyed and a few more which I liked. I&#8217;d like to do more of that sort of thing. I miss seeing as many people, but I do not miss airports, hotels, and trying to find something to eat in some new location at 9 pm. One of my goals was to see my sister more. I did that and it was time well spent. Four trips down to MA, two of them were last month. Did not make it to Westport but there&#8217;s still time. Got some home improvement stuff done and that&#8217;s made staying here at home even nicer than it was before. I&#8217;ll keep counting the places just because I love my routine, but I&#8217;ll feel okay if there aren&#8217;t many of them.<\/p>\n<p>Past years: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2025\/12\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2024\">2024<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2024\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2023\">2023<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2023\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2022\">2022<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2021\/12\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2021\">2021<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2020\/12\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2020\">2020<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2020\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2019\">2019<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2019\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2018\">2018<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2018\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2017\">2017<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2016\/12\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2016\">2016<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2016\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2015\">2015<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/jessamyn.com\/journal\/2015\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2014\">2014<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/jessamyn.com\/journal\/2011\/12\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2011\">2011<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/jessamyn.com\/journal\/2011\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2010\">2010<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/sets\/72157612779175501\/detail\/\">2009<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2009\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2008\">2008<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2008\/01\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2007\">2007<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2006\/12\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2006.html\">2006<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/06\/jan.shtml#14\">2005<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2025\/12\/my-year-in-cities-and-towns-2025\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to my year in cities and towns, 2025\"><p>A list of all the places I stayed in 2025.
