Family Fun



I'm in Virginia this week for my dad's retirement. Tomorrow he retires after 35 years in the USN. It's sort of like being home for a wedding: lots of family in town, ceremonies, speeches, food, life changes, parties, logistics (cars, directions, seating charts), etc. It's fun and crazy and stressful and.. and... good to be here. I was able to combine this with a work trip, so have been able to spend a couple days checking in with the Mother Ship, seeing people and places I've only known through phone and video conference. It's only Wednesday, and I'm tired. I think I'll follow the grands' example and have a nap now.
