Then the company I worked for was acquired by IBM which turns out to be not unlike being absorbed by the borg. And I made the decision to change course. The market for windows programmers had disappeared so I taught myself iOS programming. Most of the iOS jobs are at startups so instead of working a measly 35 hours a week, I've been working 45+ hours - and driving a longer commute.



In the mean time, the Zings have graduated high school and college. Both are working and now both are engaged.



Life moves fast.


Wow. WB, as they say. Hope you can stick around now?
