Still alive and kicking, I got my free coffee at Starbucks today for Veterans Day.

I’m in the hospital again with A-fib. Second time this month. I would rather be home enjoying Halloween. Hope everyone has a great time tonight.

Today, Sandy and I are celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary. I can’t imagine being without her. Love you, Sandy.

Second Year of Retirement
Beginning my second year of retirement. Still happy not to be in the classroom. In some states, it’s downright scary being a teacher. That’s why so many have left the profession.
