Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Baby! Did I mention that I'm a great-aunt as of a month ago? Not half exciting as a grandmother, though, and probably won't get to see the baby for months yet.

Welcome BABY ODIN!
Well, we had our first COVID retirement today. I know we have been lucky as a department to be mostly untouched thus far by illness or departures of any kind, but still sad. Spouse of employee has major health issues, heart function, and employee is 70! I had no idea they were that old. I've been debating calling my retirement guy and seeing what would be needed to move my retirement up to 59 or 60. If I get in 10 years at current job I am vesting in the government retirement and that would be good. It might be more than I can sock away between now and then, but it also just might be doable if I putt $$ to retirement that I am just spending now.

They offered a really good early retirement package at my job, and I'm kind of devastated about the people who are taking it! And then there's the guy who we keep including in that group, but he graduated from college in 1967! That's not early retirement, man!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Welcome, Odin!
