Update – November, 2018

November 8, 2018

I have now experienced over 4 months of retirement.  I like it.

I get plenty of sleep. I go to the gym 3 or 4 days a week. I am free to tinker on projects that I enjoy. I occasionally drive a bus for a school sports team. I am enjoying some sound system projects around the school, especially one to hang a speaker cluster in the multi-purpose room of our brand new high school building (see my facebook page to watch a video tour by our HS principal, Kim Jones).

I am experiencing a renewed interest in music. I have offered to help in our music program at the school … I may even begin a parent/grandparent music booster club to just offer any type of needed support for the program. Just the other day I found a good deal on a used trombone for an eager 5th grade student to use in our beginning band. I love it.

To our many friends and relatives, thank you for your interest in our lives. My health is holding very well, except for the ongoing side-effects of Multiple Myeloma and the medications I take to maintain remission. It’s a small price to pay for the wonderful life I have.

If you get near us, please stop in and spend some time with us. We love you.

    What a great report Dean! God has been good to you! So happy to hear that you are enjoying your retirement! Not sure when that will happen for me. Probably not too far down the road. Missed seeing you and Patty! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
