2010: What's the Plan?

The plan for the new year is the usual one. Except now I begin a five-year pre-retirement plan. Yes, most people begin that a tad earlier, but I've never been most people. Continue at the current position for a total of 2 or 3 years, then find a higher paying position until I retire, so I can get a better pension. After retirement, work at TMLA as part time teacher, staff developer, or administrator.

Right now, step up the profile at BUFSD, continue to teach at  SJU, and get another course or see about teaching the Saturday CAPSTONE prep course. Put together a conference presentation, or workshop for SCOPE. 

Clean out entire house. Drop 25 pounds by Easter. More to come---not pounds, though.

Another Hannon Christmas

Our 2009 Christmas Eve seemed smaller, but it was lovely. There were only two generations present, with Mary Ann moved to Florida and Uncle Tony and Carolyn gone to PA a day earlier. I left in time to attend Midnight Mass and therfore missed Dan and Jen, but I am sure I'll catch up with them soon. The party in Rockefeller Centre this past Sunday was another great family get together -- with Kelly our star on ice. 

After a slight protest, which I quickly quelled, the nephews and Kelly proceeded to the staircase for the annual picture. All bets are off for this for next year, though.
