I'm actually still around, just not very often. We moved into, and are cleaning out, my mom's house which needs some serious maintenance since she did nothing with it for over 6 years. My mom moved to a Good Samaritan facility about 6 miles away and I've been putting her duplex together.

I spent 18 days in the hospital in April for, go figure, they never figured out WHY I had an abdominal infection. Fortunately, it was only an NDE (near death experience). 2 surgeries. We had signed a contract to sell the house in Houston a couple days before it hit me, so we had to move a few days after I got out of the hospital. I was useless, unable to walk, but my wife made up for it.

I retired from NASA in January. My pension pays for medical/vision/dental and a little bit of cash. Wife Mary tried to quit but they wouldn't let her so she works 20 hours a week from home and goes back to Houston once a month for a few days. She was the chief financial officer for one of the off-shore oil company manufacturers so... It pays good.

Re-learning how to golf. Our house is on the 11th tee at Druid Hills country club in Fairfield Glade, Tennessee.
