It has been months since I last posted and much has happened. I have started to move into retirement. I have been given an opportunity to transition from the job that kept me on planes and sleeping in hotels all over the world.
For the past few months I have been taking care of all the things that I wasn't able to get done for the past 20+ years. I am working part time and that is fine with me. I have been very disappointed in how the management team of Alere has performed these past months. I can only sit and watch as someone else flies the plane. Not something that makes me comfortable.
I have accomplished alot these past months and feel a sense of accomplishment. I have also had time to consider where I am, how I got here and most importantly where I should go. While I have not chosen the destination yet the path I choose will be more focused on what I need than the others I have focused on in the past.
I have lost weight and my health is good so far. Some aches but all in all pretty good.
As fall turns to winter here I feel I need a new goal to test me. Several years ago I attended the Fire Academy in Houston Tx with my son Brian. At 50 it was the toughest challenge I had ever tried. Brian kept me going and we both completed the test.
I recently was able to see a dear friend. A friend I have scene in over 18 years. To me our visit was magical and it has re-energized me. I look forward to the next scotch.
My next post should have details on the next adventure. Stay tuned.
