Here on the eve of 2020, I am looking forward to the new year and a new situation as nearly all retired. There are a few projects that have lurched forward into January and February, but today was the last regular day of going into the office. This past December 2 marked 20 years at one company. My previous longest job was eleven years. Today I spent most of my time filing and packing and throwing out. A number of three-ring binders I brought with me from my previous job. I left today with only the files I will need for those projects lingering into 2020.

I am looking forward to having more time with Barbara and working with her in the yard and in our home. We hope to see friends in the Mammoth Cave area this year at the Cave Guides' Reunion, as well as friends in the St. Louis area.

The western sky is golden, and darkness approaches. Solitary fireworks sound through the neighborhood, a sign of more to come.

Happy New Year, everyone!

20th anniversary of Y2K!
