Did a lot of music-making, with what we now officially call a band on our one-year anniversary ("Shore Grass") and with various friends and strangers.

Visited son and daughter-in-law and many relatives in California. First time back in 30 years.

Went to 9 bluegrass festivals over the summer!

Made the huge move in October to take the early retirement offer at work. Still working (they asked me to help get the team through the end-of-year crises) but will officially move on to my next challenge in a couple of months. Tune in next year to see what that may be. . .
