It has been a long time since I've been here. I apologize. I've been busy.

I retired. This decision was strictly to secure health coverage for my wife after I pass away (sounds ominous but it's really not). Well, that was part of the reason. I also have to take care of my mother.

We're moving as soon as the house sells in Texas. The house in Tennessee has a view of 7 mountain ranges off the back deck (on a clear day). My wife's going to work until she gets fed up or the house sells.

I'm not eligible for any programs under the affordable care act. Well, maybe I am, but for now I'm a retired federal government employee with a federal insurance plan.

I'll try to check in more often.
