This coming summer I become eligible to retire. After some thought and a bit of calculating, I have decided to exercise my option and retire from my current position. I will finish this college term as well as the summer session, then I will be gone.

This college semester has now been completed as examinations are done and grades have been entered. After instructing under the quarter system for a decade, the semester seemed long. It was like hiking fifteen miles instead of ten. So, I am looking forward to time at work without students and then some vacation time.

I was researching the concept of wabi sabi this morning to find a very interesting book for children called Wabi Sabi written by Mark Reibstein and illustrated by Ed Young. Youtube had an entertaining interview about the book entitled Mark Reibstein: Wabi Sabi.

All major tasks for the new place are done. Indeed, I had envisioned the task being done by Thanksgiving Day. So, the place is now very livable. The college term is coming to a close. Having instructed based on the quarter system for over a decade has made the semester system seem very long. However, with luck I will be retiring after two more semesters. Well, I will be retiring from my current job, but certainly plan to continue working elsewhere.

The move to the new place is still somewhat in progress. This morning, while it was raining, I picked up some old computer equipment from the old place and took it to a recycling center. A few pictures that could not be moved in the rain await another visit. Two more visits and all will be finished there. The new place is nice, but I have a long to-do project list. I view the project list as part of home ownership that I was away from for eight years.

After being a renter for years, I am now a homeowner once again. It has been a busy last six days with a closing and the move. Indeed, the move is still in progress. Now my girlfriend, her dog, and I can be together. So, while it is a busy time, it is a happy time as well.
