Well after being gone for so long, I suppose an explanation is in order?

Hello my probably dispersed and disgusted readers!
It has been 3 years since my last post and of course many things have happened in that time span.
- I shed over 70lbs and so am much more “svelte” in appearance
- Both my adult children moved out for University and so my wife and I are Empty-Nesters
- We paid off our home mortgage and are now the ONLY owners of our comfortable and happy house
- I’m planning for my retirement – it’s visible within a couple years or so
- My wife and I did our first European travel vacation, and found ourselves bitten by the travel bug
- I highly recommend River Cruises as the ships are smaller, fewer guests (less than 160) and having the same bed to return to after a long day of excursions is refreshing
- Finally I’ve reduced my work week hours in the hopes that my writing career can be nourished along with my mental health
So in a nutshell, that is it. I’m hoping to make a weekly post and also include some images of my office wall whiteboard markings for your entertainment. These I’ve been taking since 2018 and while they are amusing, some I hope are thought provoking and poignant.
