@Gina Nice to hear. Ensure he keeps up with that. I currently regret that I didn't encourage my parents in all of the above mentioned activities, when they retired.
We will have a combined #XMPP and #UnifiedPush stand at #CLT2026 on March 28th and 29th. Come talk to us if you are curious about either! We will have merch for both, test devices, lots of advice, and I've even heard rumors about free Haribo.
@Gina If he's super handy, maybe occasionally ask his help doing odd jobs around the house? One of the biggest adjustments that I dealt with when I retired was loss of purpose, feeling needed. Just don't throw too much at him, he may have ideas of his own. When the dust settles, meet for lunch or drinks.

@tadi He has a gym membership that he goes to like once or twice a week. And he goes cycling with his grandson a lot, so I think that's covered for now.
Dinosaurs? Okay ... In Britain?? How would they even get on the Chunnel Train?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-5f8c77b0-92bc-40f2-bf21-6793abbe5ffe #science #biology #physics #chemistry #technology #education #space #engineering
