!4 Days to Go

Like Cher, I am ready for my second retirement, with maybe a few more to go after this.

After almost three years, I am ending my current contract on Dec 14th, which means there are only 14 more working days left. It has been a good assignment, and Lori and I have enjoyed Ottawa, but I want to retire while I am still healthy and able to travel and visit our family scattered around North America.

I am also planning another project management course which I think will be in higher demand than my current course. It will be on "Why Projects Fail" and based on the feedback I get from my courses, almost every project seems to be having problems. I have developed a neat Project Health Check" tool to diagnose the problem areas in a project that I think will fit well in the course.

So I will not be in full retirement mode, but Lori and I will still be able to travel and spend our winters in Florida or some other sunny location, go on cruises in Europe and visit friends in New Zealand and England.

I have no pictures to go with this post, so will include this one of a very cute little boy and his even cuter big sister. No prizes for guessing who they are.



And in case my little brother gets jealous, I am including a cute prized photo of him also. Who knew that England had its own Wild West (Bristol)!

Baby Pictures - Round 1

Whilst others may exploit their children for blog material, like some cartoonists (For Better or Worse, so to speak), I have always resisted the temptation to sink to such low depths. However, after going over two miserable weeks with no news to post, I am embarrassed to say that I have finally succumbed and am posting some baby pictures.

To protect the innocent, I will not put names to them, but Lori has provided the captions and you know who you are (as probably also do those closest to you).

Trick or Treat

One Foot Out

Togetherness

I Love Pasketti

I Love Pasketti Too

As you can guess from the title of this post, there are plenty more cute baby pictures where these came from, so you have been warned.
