My buddy, John, successfully defended his doctoral dissertation yesterday afternoon and it was a glorious event. We are two old guys who did late career PhD’s with much joy. Honestly, I think John beat me badly in the quality of his doctoral studies and research. It is not that I did badly–I am wildly happy with what I did, but John is a force of nature. Congrats to a very dear friend.
This picture was taken from our front porch. This is all our property here in Virginia and we feel blessed to have lived here. There is lots of wildlife, forested areas, beautiful agricultural crop fields, rivers, and everything that makes Virginia such a beautiful place. It is not Oregon or Washington, but it is as close as it gets to that, as far as we can tell, on the East coast. We will not have that in Texas, but it truly is time to downsize and move into town, not that I want to admit that.
