2022

I continue getting bent out of shape once or twice a week in yoga class, training and participating in volunteer mediation, and taking part in a couple other nonprofit activities culled from what was once a longer list of potential post-retirement pursuits. Serving on the host committee of an in-person convention in Ocean City attended by more than 5,000 people, after a year’s delay and many months of Zoom meetings, was a rewarding opportunity.

Après-pandemic travels for Linda and me generally have been close to home, mostly visiting friends and family in Maryland and Virginia, but we did take a road trip to Key West last fall. The highlight may have been the third day of the ride home, beginning with a morning cruise down the Spanish moss-tinseled streets of old Savannah, and through the expediency of interstate highways, ending in the golden glow of dusk on the Blue Ridge Mountains.
