Can't believe it's been a week since my last writing. My son is still visiting. He flies home Fri morning. This past weekend we went to Philadelphia for the day and had a great time. He loves history so we took him to a lot of historical sites in Philly. It was the first time I'd ever seen the Liberty Bell in person.  We also got to go through the exhibits at the American Revolution museum. They had an exhibit displaying the tent George Washington lived in during the Revolutionary War. It was awesome!!! Hard to believe it is about 250 years old, give or take. And was actually used by our nation's first president! I'm back on call so there won't be too many travel trips this week. I started teaching him some basic drill movements yesterday so that he can practice them before he ships to basic training in May. Not much else going on. Just the last few days of my son's visit, then things will basically return to normal here. I'm very happy he was able to vi...

  My kids flew in last Thurs for a visit. What a great weekend! Started off sucky. Their flight was delayed almost 5 hours due to FAA computer issues the day before their flight and bad weather the afternoon of. But they finally made it. It was so much fun having them here. We went to NYC for the day on Sat. We walked almost 10 miles! Even though I am still sore I really enjoyed it. We mostly vegged the other days they were here. Daughter and her BF had to fly back yesterday since they have school/work today but son is staying for another 12 days or so. Sun night we went to Dave & Buster's for dinner and had a great time. I think they really enjoyed playing video games all night and acting like kids again. I'm excited my son is staying a little longer. He joined the Navy and will ship to basic training in May so this might be the last time we have a visit for a while. I will see him when I go to his boot camp graduation but that will only be for maybe a day or 2 and we will...

  It's already 2023?!?!?!? Where did the last month go??? Today is my first day back from winter break. It was so nice and relaxing. I didn't do a thing except a few quick errands when we needed food. I stayed in my PJ's most of the time!  I was able to read 3-4 Star Wars books, plus a business true crime type of book. I binge watched a lot of tv and just enjoyed being away from the office. So what am I going to do in 2023? I have no idea. In March I have to make a presentation at a higher education conference. Should be interesting. I will get continuing education credits to use towards my CISSP cert so that's good. I actually need to start putting my part of the slides together. I found out over the break I have to have another root canal done. Ugh! I go in for the first appt in a few weeks. Yay me. The office is quiet since my boss is working from home today. I like being able to slowly ease back into work tasks after time away from the office. My kids are coming to ...
