Brief update

Busy, but wanted to get this out there. I didn't even post my most recent reflection here, but I hope to remedy that soon.

Work news: I was promoted to team lead in January, and folks here seem to like what I do and how I do it, which is a step up over the Powers That Be at my old place.

Family news: my father passed away on Sunday morning, succumbing after a long decline to dementia; the funeral is on Friday. Mixed, fairly intense emotions, as you can imagine.
