Here it is, January 1 again! This time things have changed. I'm
officially retired! Things have started (ended 2025) strangely though:
I had developed an infection of my 2nd left-foot toe, and I had to
have the tip amputated! The infection was potentially serious, but
thanks to good health-care here in Washington state I think it's all
good now. So I sit at home, here on New Year's Day, with my foot elevated.
That's it!
2025 was a pretty bad year for the planet, but it surely ended pretty
well for our close family. We'll work on the world in 2026. Yeah!
