And I forgot to mention that he is usually the one who does the cooking for holidays like Thanksgiving. He is much more creative than I am in the kitchen and seems to enjoy cooking once in a while. He made Frogs Eye Salad and a delicious apple cake to take to my uncle's house for Thanksgiving dinner.

Today he finished putting in a new door and tile in our kitchen. He is in his late 50's, has already retired from two jobs and is working toward his third retirement, and he still has that high energy level that a lot of gifted people seem to have. He seems to be able to learn how to do anything that he decides to do by reading how to books or looking things up online. He used to tell me he was a "jack of all trades, master of none."

He is a great role model for our son.
