Unretired again

I recently found an engineering position and I am back in the labor force.  I am a contract worker on a one-year contract.

At my age, any time that I quit a job, I just say that I am retiring.  Then the company throws me a party and people line up to say good things about me.  It's wonderful!  There is no reason not to keep replaying this process into my dotage.

Hike at Stanton State Park

My younger son and I took a pleasant 7-mile hike today at Stanton State Park.  We hiked to the quiet waters of Elf Falls Pond, lorded over on the far bank by a rock formation reminiscent of Jabba the Hut.

Here is a picture of a rock cliff through the trees.

I haven't hiked much this spring and am now suffering the consequences (i.e., "old man" legs).
