10 years later!

Wow, that just flew by! I am still alive and kicking! I really lost track of this blog because the email to which it was associated has been long lost.

I think it is so cool people have found my post on the Voldyne 5000 helpful and entertaining.

So many things have happened since the last update.

• My wife survived breast cancer. That scared me more than my heart surgery.
• My son graduated from The University of Texas and now lives in Los Angeles.
• My department was closed in 2011. I was able to get another position.
• In typical "My Life Is Charmed" fashion, I now have the greatest job of my career.
• In perhaps my greatest achievement, I "ran" the CASA Superhero 5K in a unicorn costume!

Some things haven't changed.

• I let my weight get away from me a few years ago. I got up to 240! I am now back in the 195-200 range most of the time. 185 is still the goal. Weight is a continuing struggle.
• The scar is still there though not nearly as gruesome as it once was.
• Still live in and love Austin, Texas.

Maybe I'll update again in 10 years.

I guess one's digital footprint really is persistent!
