Hi, all. I'm back again. Been a busy 5 weeks or so. First was my business trip to Minneapolis. Then I flew to Orlando for a week-long Microsoft conference. Also, while there I went to Universal Studios with my boss and his family for an evening (which was fabulous!). First time I'd been in the actual park in 30 years. I miss Woody Woodpecker and how they use to have tons of merch of him but now there's NOTHING. Sucks big time.

Had three Thanksgivings: one with family, one at the GAC (German-American Club), and then flew out to Phoenix to spend time with my sister for the weekend. Saw the new Ghooniesbusters movie (Ghostbusters but with The Goonies--at least that's how it felt).

Wow, what a whirlwind. 10 flight segments in 5 weeks. I think I'll be staying home for a while--at least for the rest of the year

Oh--somewhere in there I got my annual eye exam. Turns out my prescription continues to get better over time. Down to +14.50. Since my glasses are +16.00 I think I'll actually buy new glasses for the first time in 20 years. Whoah.

That's all I can think of.
