Retirement

My dad is retiring from Varian on Friday. This day has been coming for a long time but it seems so surreal now. =) The timing is good, as their house is nearing completion with the construction and my dad needs to be there everyday. It has been a rocky road. The contractor actually boarded up the house one day and my parents had to call the police....Crazy! But, in the end, the house is almost done and it is so beautiful. I will post pictures when I get the chance. But really, it looks like a house on MTV Cribs. I think this time will be rough for my dad, as his identity is changing and his priorities will be different. But I think that it will be good, as a lot of stress will be taken off him. Anyway, just wanted to keep you all posted.
