Many Thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday....I am now 55.

Now the shocking news for some of you. We've sold our business (just waiting on signatures and cash from the buyer). We got significantly less than a broker told us it was worth but it's time to move on. I've been in the plumbing industry full-time since 1969 (yes you figured it out I was 16). My mother just turned 79 and my father will be 84 Dec 3. It's time for them to retire and enjoy what's left of their life. I will probably have more freedom to go to Massey Hall when the time comes.

If everything goes as planned Charlotte and I will be moving to Sacramento. I will be teaching and doing curriculum development for a plumbing educational foundation. So you say big deal.....it is for me. I'm a native San Diegan this move will be an adventure, but Charlotte and I are looking forward to new challenges. Our kids will be staying her in San Diego and living in our house which we hope to retain and perhaps one day retire in.
