Catching Up

I note that my last blog post was nearly two years ago. Golly! How much can happen in two years?

• Retirement from active ministry.
• Completed interim executive director stints at FISH and St. Andrew Legal Clinic, turned down two others, and recently began one at Schoolhouse Supplies, a free store for public school teachers.
• Adopted our first small dog, Nyxie, who immediately took over our house and our lives.
• Became a Grandpa. There is not hardly anything better.
• Was present as daughter Erin was granted her PhD. OK, that was pretty cool, too.
• Traveled to Scotland, and loved it.
• Got back into camping, saw a lot of Oregon, and loved it.
• Nursed Sally back from myocarditis.
• Did some neat reconstruction of our deck and back steps.
• Began grieving my mother's death.
• Said goodbye to my longtime gallbladder.

It's time for me to start writing again. You may not have missed anything in the intervening months, but I have. Perhaps with a reduction in bile content my ramblings might prove palatable. Probably not. But it's time.
