What’s going on in my life
. . . and yet, today, I retired. Turned in my keys, line badge, cell phone, final time card. Said farewell to my co-workers. Gathered up the few personal items I had there and put them in my car. Drove away and didn’t look back. Nothing stands between me and the yawning abyss we euphemistically […]

Last week we went to our Goddaughter Natasha’s wedding in San Jose, California. Donna left on Tuesday to visit aunts, uncles, and cousins in the Bay Area; I flew in Thursday afternoon, the day before the wedding; we flew home together Sunday. Natasha is the daughter of probably our oldest friend, Trish, who we met […]
