April 2022

Randi and I are still raising our two grandsons (ages 18 and 15) and have been doing so for nearly eight years. Their mother was our second daughter who died of a brain aneurysm in 2007 (I know there are some missing years here but things got quite complicated for a while). The boys are great and keeping up with them has been a whole lot of fun. A Friday night football game in Bloomfield, New Mexico, (find that on your map) or in Bernalillo or Socorro or wherever, is an experience in itself and a whole lot of fun, seriously. No one believes us or almost no one, but we could not think of a better way to spend retirement. Nothing like getting home after a dinner out and hardly being able to navigate around the parked cars on your residential street because half of the Albuquerque Academy football team is in the backyard plotting some raid or other on various girls' houses. As of this moment, all is good. I hope it stays that way and wish all the best.
