I wasn’t 40 yet when I started posting. Part of my description was “with 2 young kids”. Yep, those kids are adults now.

I officially retired the early part of this year I guess. But it is a little fuzzy as I’ve been out of work since a few months after COVID started. I got a good job offer and realized I didn’t want to start over yet again and didn’t need to either. So it was at that point, I retired.
