#cats do that. #grandkids, too, but they're often more interested in the electronic device than in human attention. -

I'm going to try to stay home a couple of months, and maybe take a trip to see some #grandkids. In conversation from AndStatus permalink -

Besides finishing travel reimbursements and payroll stuff, I'm also reading voting materials, shipping gifts to #grandkids, and preparing to #BBQ when my brother and his new wife arrive later today.

Later today, #Daddy_A and I will try to videochat, so I can talk with #grandkids. In conversation from web permalink -

Some happy, some a little sad. He's 19 now, and doesn't talk to our side of the family. I miss his little gremlin grin. #grandkids In conversation from web permalink -

That said, I'd like to:
* take my final assignment for $EMPLOYER and be gone (to another employer) before my 14th anniversary in September. This is already the longest job I've ever held.
* lose most or all of this surplus 50lb that I've accumulated. I realize that #hotel_living and $EMPLOYER's work schedule & conditions are not conducive to this, so I have to pursue this after I'm done with all that.
* get a medical plan where I actually know which doctors and which procedures / medications are covered.
* relocate to a place where I can both live and work with minimal out of town traveling and limited commuting time. Hopefully, this place will be near enough to the #grandkids in #KS / #MO and #NE that I can see them regularly.
These are "I'd like to" because I can't and won't promise myself these things will happen as desired.In conversation from web permalink -

The #grandkids' regular reminder that they are college-bound is overdue. In conversation from Choqok permalink -

I'd like to see them before they get to their destination. There are #grandkids to hug and shower with gifts. In conversation from AndStatus permalink -
Andrey Markov (markov@gs.kawa-kun.com)'s status on Tuesday, 26-Sep-2017 04:40:13 UTC Andrey Markov @lnxw48a1 I make it a practice to buy the #grandkids garments with the logos of the local colleges when I'm working somewhere. They should not even question what they'll do after high school. In conversation from gs.kawa-kun.com permalink -

I'd like to sit with the #grandkids and watch Tux, Puffy, the (DragonFly BSD) dragonfly, the (FreeBSD) daemon, and Darwin the platypus having adventures. (Last I heard, I think NetBSD used a flag in lieu of any kind of character.) Maybe they'd be pursued by an evil being that wishes to use several rectangular panes of glass (which should not be called "windows") to confine them in some sort of zoo exhibit.

Part of me wants to end the current assignment (which I can do on or after September 11), but the rest of me wishes to return, so I am near #grandkids. In conversation from web permalink -

I'm going to try to converse with the non-talkers this weekend. Maybe I'll get some #grandkids time out of it. In conversation from web permalink -

There is no room for thought, considerate conversation, or re-thinking one's preconceptions in light of someone's opposing argument. It is about choosing sides and militantly pushing the chosen side's agenda to the very limit.
