Re: What's everyone up to?

I'm preparing to move *partially* across the country... back to New England, although skipping over Massachusetts and going to New Hampshire.  Pretty sure I mentioned that in one of the other recent emails, but prepping for that move is about all I do right now.

I still do software engineering, and still database stuff.  The place I've been at 5 years later this month has exactly one customer for our very extensive development department: the business.  We keep joking we'll write our own database engine one of these days because that's how we do things.

My oldest son is married, and I have one granddaughter (they also gave me my first grandchild, my grandcat Jasper).

My middle son is currently doing casino security, but is a linguist and English teacher.   He might be heading overseas to take a job using both of those skillsets.

My youngest, who was born around the time I first stepped into the House (plus or minus a bit), and who supplied the world with Brandonisms that still make my heart happy when I think of them will be 21 this Autumn.

I still play music (just ordered my first nylon string guitar... finally! wanted one for four decades!) but I stopped "touring" back in May 2019.

And also somehow my world fame didn't come from my music or my writing... but as a model (and a photographer; and no, I can't figure it out, either.)   I may not be doing (much/any) poetry or fiction writing, but I've had fans write both for me.   Boggles me completely.
