Let&#8217;s get an overview of all the things I hadn&#8217;t posted about:  Want to hear it? Here it goes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of the year, this was not on my list of things to do, but by mid year, I decided to go ahead and finish Grad School.  I completed my classwork in October and by mid-December I was able to officially announce my graduation.  Completing my Masters of Business Administration with a focus on Information Technology Management &#8211; Done.  I know have a bit (a lot actually) of time to reallocate to other interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Interests, one of my goals in 2022 was to upgrade my HAM ticket to a General Class license.  Not only did I accomplish that &#8211; I went ahead and took the Amateur Extra License too!  I studied and yes I did in fact learn a thing or two by upgrading my license.  I still have a lot to learn and experience with radio and I plan to get a little more active in the hobby, in particular with POTA (Parks On The Air).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve accomplished a few health goals this year too. Without going into the long details, I know what the cause of the symptoms are and what I can do to address them.  I still have some limitations to what I can and cannot do (don&#8217;t expect me to complete a triathlon this year) &#8211; the important thing is that I know I am fixable and am on the mend.  I can make progress on my own in that regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got to do a little traveling this year too.  I&#8217;ve added two NL East stadiums to my visited list &#8211; New York Mets and Washington Nationals &#8211; now I still have to go back and check out the AL clubs.   Perhaps now may be a better time to plan some baseball trips instead of waiting until the last minute.  I travelled to New York in May &#8211; it was an awesome trip.  I also knocked off the last intact Space Shuttle to take a selfie in front of &#8211; Enterprise, parked at the USS Intrepid museum.  My second trip within a year to Washington, DC took place in September &#8211; treated myself to a Birthday Braves Away game!  I&#8217;ve got plenty of more ballparks to visit and the new MLB schedule may allow for more of those trips to be legit Braves away games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last, but certainly not least, my day to day job is changing.  I am super excited about the schedule change &#8211; but I know there are challenges and lessons to be learned ahead.  I am looking forward to the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I may be able to be a little more social now. We shall see how I fit back into the fold.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And who knows &#8211; I may take the time to rebuild this web server, the site &#8211; and work on the content that I wanted to do to start with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good Times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clearly, I didn&#8217;t post a lot this year.
