Today is June 28th. I left Doha on May 19th for home.
During the last six weeks I spent a lot of time with my family and working on the Visa requirements to obtain a residency permit. I didn't accomplish much else.
May 22nd. One of the proudest of many proud moments was watching my youngest son - Joshua, graduate from College. His many academic accomplishments and accolades received from school are a bit overwhelming. I know this kid will go on to do great things.
While he doesn't know what his future holds, after graduation he found out he was accepted to Drexel's Bio-Medical Science PhD program and interviewed for a job at EA Sciences. All indications are he'll go to school, but sure would like to know the outcome of the interview. It was fun helping him prepare for the interview.
On June 11th at 11am another proud moment in the Harrison family occured. My oldest son Gavin married the beautiful Kimberly Comes. A true story book romance that only Harford County could produce. Two kids grew up doing very similar things - same chureh, same elementary school (for a couple of years), same job in high school, met and dated and finally married. It was a beautiful day. I am very proud of my son and daughter in law.
In between I did some work:
May 23rd we had a division meeting to prepare for the upcoming Ops meeting presentation .
June 3rd I met with WMATA to close the book on the work we did regarding the Metro Matters project. The client seemed satisfied with our presentation.
June 8th we presented to the Ops meeting. The meeting went long because our division has a lot of things going on in our market. Qatar being one of the topics of discussion resulted in an assignment to develop our strategy moving forward.
Doctors stuff:
The visa requires a physical along with HIV and Hepatitis B testing. This took three trips to the doctor along with a trip to the lab for testing.
When visting with the doctor we discussed snoring that is causing my wife to complain. It is a situation that apparently many men are facing in my age group. Wives who can't take it any longer.
The doctor sent me to an ENT doc, who in turn sent me for a Sleep Study. More on that later.
Yesterday my wife and I spent most of the day gathering stuff together to pack for my move on June 29th (tomorrow). I'm up to three suitcases and counting. She commented that with all I packed the closet still looked full. Gotta get rid of some of this stuff.
