Good morning everyone! We survived the week and made it to the weekend. This week was particularly brutal at work due to a wireless network outage that affected 250k VA employees all across the nation. We were scrambling last weekend and on Monday and Tuesday to remediate the issue. I also got a promotion to be the team lead for our group of contractors. How are you doing? Tell us about your week. How are the kids doing? What kind of challenges are you facing?

Who are you? So, a couple of you have been a guest on the podcast and you know me but do we know each other? I would say no. It would be nice to know a little bit about each of you. :) I will go first. I turn 65 in November and I was semi retired last year. I am now working a 1 year contract doing IT support at the VA. Katy, my wife and I have been married 35+ years and we have four children. Two of our children have passed on but the other two are living in downtown Charleston. We are empty nesters but my wife insists on us having two dogs and two cats. Katy is a special education teacher. I love writing, photography and podcasting. I also love to play poker and the outdoors. Ok, that is a bit about us. What about you? Like 0
