I am a retired former CEO in the midst of an earnout, trying to figure out what to do once we get bored. In the mean time, it provides lots of time for family, entertainment, and personal growth.

I wear several hats! By day, I am a third grade teacher in the 2nd largest elementary school in the country (1,450 students K-5). By night and weekends I am a partner with my father in a real estate company. Also, I have been singing professionally for 12 years now...when I can squeeze it in. I mostly sing with my band Poor Baker's Dozen, but I also lead music at churches, and freelance in studio for other bands and commercial work.

...oh...and I find time to be a daddy of 3 beautiful children.....MAKE THAT 4 IN SEPTEEMBER. WAHOOOO!!! Never a dull moment in my life!

I love hearing what you all do, by the way. What a fascinating mix we have at LBT!

Thanks Susan!

We are thrilled. We actually haven't told anyone yet. It's different this time, as we lost a baby in August with a bad miscarraige. We will breathe easier after the first trimester. She's two months along now, and she is showing tell-tale signs that all is well, so were very prayerful that God will send us a fourth miracle. We have been so blessed. I'll be sure to keep everybody posted with pics in September.

Just retired not to long ago as an ER nurse for 38 years. I think I've seen it all and am richer for the experience.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
