The life and times of past posters

It was my son's one year birthday two days ago. In September it was my daughter's 3rd birthday. this past year has been a bit of a blur. I'm old, Gandalf. I know I don't look it but I feel it in my bones. still, fatherhood is not without its rewards. my daughter, for example, will ask me from time to time to sing to her "traitor song, daddy!" before bed and we'll sing Union Dixie

My older son got married this September. We had it at Flathead Lake, it was so fun, beautiful weather. Celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary and spent it in Yellowstone Park. Bigger changes coming up this year. I listed my practice for sale a couple of weeks ago, hope to be fully retired by this time next year. It's listed as available after 4/15, if I don't get a bite on it by June it will probably sit till Sept/Oct next year to sell. Weird but I'm so ready to be done with work.
