New Adventure!

From my facebook page, March 22, 2012: Dear Friends and Family, thank you all for your warm birthday greetings! I especially appreciate them this year. Not only is today my birthday, it is the first day of a new direction in my career. I am leaving the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and taking advantage of their generous severance package to fund my launch into writing and publishing. I will be formally separated from the lab as of April 20, but today is the first day of my new work regimen. So far, so good. Alarm went off at 7:00, got up at about 7:15, breakfast and coffee ready at 7:25, at work by 7:45. The day’s schedule includes making some progress on the first book for publication, and then lunch with friends. We’ll see how the adventure goes…
