Q: Are you going to sell you house in NC?
A: Yep! The plan is to live somewhere without copperheads in the yard, and where the sun doesn't set fire to your skin for 8 months a year. (Make us an offer!)

Q: Are you really done working?
A: Unless I can find a job teaching or doing Drosophila work in the UK, I'm done. But if I can find a way to spend 12 months a year in my new house, I'll do it. (Yes, I'll flip stocks for minimum wage, if there's a visa!)

Q: What are you going to do?
A: Well, we just bought a house in South Wales (Neath) down the street from our daughter, so the current plan is to spend 6 months a year in Wales, and 6 months a year in the greater PGH area.

FAQ:
Q: Are you old enough?
A: No, I am not old enough. I'm "about a decade too young" according to a friend. But according to the financial folks, Dauna & I will be fine. Enjoy life while you can. Seriously.
