2016 Holiday Letter


2016 Found us Happy, Healthy and Humming along.  Jay went back to Lexington to teach in January.  I had a board meeting in California in late January and had planned a couple of days on the beach, only to be delayed a couple of days flying west because of the biggest snow storm of the year.  In the end I made it in time for board meeting, but missed all of the fun part. 

In April I had another board meeting in Denver, I stayed for the conference and saw a little bit of Denver.  Jay arrived in Virginia in early May for the summer as usual. 

Normally we go 2 to four years between trips to Europe, and we had been to Germany in 2015, then Jay was invited to speak at a conference in Rome the end of May.  Never one to pass an adventure, we spent a week in Rome,  the second week was split between Venice and Modena.  For details see. http://picturesoftheadventure.blogspot.com/?view=classic . 

We went to Florida for the 4th of July to visit my parents and family.  Mom and Dad continue to be in very poor health, I made return visits in September and December.  

Jay went back to Kentucky to teach in September, and I went to Lake Tahoe in Nevada for the last board meeting of the year.  

I went to Kentucky twice this year, in February and November.  On both trips distilleries were visited in search of rare and high quality Bourbons.  

Our health was good, I continue to get stronger.  For the most part the feeling in my feet has returned and my balance is near normal.  I continue with follow-up MRIs a couple of times this year, and so far nothing appears to be growing where it shouldn't be.   

Wishing you all the best in the holiday season and the new year.
