It's all good so far

I had a couple drafts started in various places. I haven’t posted much if anything since the travelogue. I should do a review of the discarded tailings to see if there is anything salvageable.

I have been reflecting some of the second half of life. I am looking at the rate of implementation of things at work and how much time that I may want to spend working for others. Another decade? That will put me at 65. I have worked on legacy sites that have more the ten years of history. I have scouting files for my current position that I developed 15 years ago. A decade working for others should get my my programs implemented, evaluated, revised, and improved. I should have a staff trained and running with things, training junior staff.

Not sure where the family business will be at that time, but we should be well into working with electronic archives and making committee decisions.

Watching the wheels coming off my dad who has been in great shape, but in the last two years he has gone through a knee repair and a significant fracture. He has compounded this by falling and fracturing his other femur one week into knee replacement recovery. Head strong independence has a price. Will be spending some time helping get him through rehab by getting him a means to work.

I know that Sandra and I need to plan ahead. We are discussing goals, and sharing plans. Looking at how we design our next home that will allow us both to downsize but remain independent. Perhaps borrowing a retirement community design to drop into the hill country. We are both working on the diet and exercise, now perhaps with a a little more diligence.

Still much more to do, but the rewards will hopefully be 30 plus more years together.
