Good man, Kal.
Been busy. Joined the reserves in 2013 and was awarded a visit to Mesopotamia this past winter. Recently got suckered into heading my department at the civilian gig. Graduated my daughter from HS and stupidly agreed to send her 1/2 way across the country for college next month. Now we're in the midst of remodeling 2 bathrooms and doing hardwood in the house.
I'm kind of tired, but pretty content.
One of my kid's adventurous friends is heading the opposite direction to your neck of the woods to attend U of Hawaii in the Fall. Any tips I should pass on to a wide eyed kid from the mainland?
