and you have an update! Well I’m now divorced, and out of the rents house. Started a new job working with a government contractor…. its pretty much all new stuff to me ( works with some of my sys admin basics) but i think I’m picking up/ running with it well. Jack has been really sick as of late, most recently Lyme’s disease and Erlichia. Both are cause by deer ticks, nasty little bastards. Poor buddy has been on more antibiotics this year already than the past 2 years.
