April 3, 2026. Lunch. I liked how bright my lunch looked today. Today was very much a rest day - any ambition I had disappeared with the need for an afternoon nap. They say retirement is one of those stressful life events. I can relate. #SDDaily

April 2, 2026. A last look at my office before I take things down. It was a decent office but I never felt any love for it. My last day in this building will be next Tuesday, with my only objective to take my own stuff out of it and leave NRC's stuff behind. #SDDaily

April 1, 2026. Sunshine in the Back Yard. The weather has turned a bit. Working from home, getting files archived and my post-NRC Web page set up. #SDDaily.

March 31, 2026. Productive day. Went to the dentist for the hygienist, X-rays and a checkup and left with zero cavities. So yay! Got my final time sheets completed, and wrapped up the project with DRDC. Also we had our last team meeting. Brought home many of the speaker's gifts I've accumulated over the years - not sure where to put them but I value them. #SDDaily

March 28, 2026. Grackle. This bird and a dozen of it's colleagues descended in the bird feeder today, cleaning it out. A sure sign of spring.

March 27, 2026. First bike ride of the year - from the car dealership, where my tires are being changed, to the bike shop, for a new chain and cassette (among other things). A cold slushy 6 km ride.
