Back in the States

Do you like the travel? I was work-traveling every week for several years and I actually loved it. I miss it now.

Where was most of your travel? Mine was mostly Europe and the middle east. Basically been to just about every US embassy in this area:

Welcome home.

Personally I'd spend an hour catching up then figure out where's safe to flee to.

Hey buddy!

Yikes. Enjoy your world slowing down a bit, even if it’s just for a brief amount of time.

Retirement is over-rated

You've missed lunacy. But it continues.
