December 30th, 2025. We had a fun night the day before Christmas Eve when we hosted Elisa and Bob with their kids, and Kevin and Maryam and their kids. We played charades with a homemade charades game we made for the kids Westfield's 4th-grade class. And also just laughed about the sad state of the country and reminisced about old times.
Now it's almost 2026! Yikes, can't believe I'm going to be 68 years old in less than two months, and we are marching into my last full year here at MWU! It all seems so strange. The 'kids' are 23, so not really kids anymore more and they are moving on to another new chapter in their lives. Mik to graduate school studying ecology and environmental genetics (if I have that right?), and Lance to attend medical school (hopefully!). Why does life have to work this way? Why must we get older, change, and grow up and apart? I know it's stupid to even contemplate this, but why? I don't handle change well, and these changes are all going to be difficult!
This was the Xmas tree at the Student Union at Purdue.
Happy New Year, and may 2026 be better than 2025!
