I turned 57 in November. With our kids all graduated from college and moving onto the next stages of their lives, it was time for Natalie and I to go on a new adventure. So we'd moved from Utah to Belgium in August. Natalie has taken a new job as high school teacher for US DoD on a military base here. I'm figuring out my next move, after finishing a job as COO of a lithium exploration company. I think that your 50's is often a major turning point. People are approaching the end of their careers, kids are off their hands, age is starting to catch up with some and maybe it's time to re-focus on wellness, both physical and mental. I'd be interested in communicating with others who are making some big changes late in life.

Natalie and I traveled from our place in Belgium to Abruzzo in October 2024. We spent a few days in the countryside there before heading to Rome. This photo was taken at sunset at Rocca Calascio.

A bit of black powder shooting fun in the desert in Utah. #pewpewpew

This was such a fun hike. My objective was to do a Summits On The Air "activation" - setting up a portable HF radio station and contacting at least four other hams. It was also a great outing with Natalie, who had undergone brain surgery a few months before. The views from Delano Peak are spectacular.
