Larry English

Haven't been much of anywhere since Paris trip in August.  Going to Asheville NC and Chapel Hill, NC for Thanksgiving.  Visiting the daughter of a friend in Asheville and my son in Chapel Hill.
Then back to Chapel Hill on 12/17 for my son's PHD graduation (thesis defense).  He will get his degree in molecular biology, sounded like a great field 10 years ago when he started working toward it.  Hope it will be something that he can find a job in now with all of the cutbacks in funding.
Then back to Tampa on Dec 28th to spend week before New Year's in Florida and Disney World.  Then off the Key West on Feb 15th for some time in the sun.  
So a travel hiatus, followed by some more activity.
I am enjoying every minute of retirement.
Took my dog Marcus to the groomers today, he is a white fluffy ball of fur, granted at 76 LBS he is a rather large ball.
I have been seeing someone now for 8 months, after 10 years of being divorced and living alone it is a pleasant adjustment and she is an excellent traveling companion.  She is also a top notch basketball player, her team took the gold medal at the Nation Senior Games in Cleveland this summer.  Sue is the one of the left.
