    How you doing these days @MrEd ? Staying busy ?

    I am fine. I have reached my last year's goals (I passed the exam), but work didn't do itself, so now I have a little bit of backlog to solve :)

    And how are you? How did you meet the New Year? ;)

    That is the way it is. Always something to do. :)
    I'm good. I covered the OGF on New Years.

    I live in a town of 320,000 people. 250,000 arrived by tour bus, 50,000 arrived by plane, and an unknown number arrived by car to spend New Years here. I figured we would watch the fireworks from the balcony instead of going out with that kind of crowd around.

    So you witnessed how it would feel like if population would double :D

    My family has been watching fireworks through the window for the last 8 years. Maybe next year we will try to go somewhere, but we are still young (3 years for the smallest) :)

    Kind of tough to take them out on New Years when they are that young. Unless you, have no more than two, and the wife and you want to carry them most of the night. :smiley:

    And there are 3 of them :D The big one is already 8, so he is no problem, but the smaller ones still need the night sleep. So we are letting them sleep until 23:55, we wake them up, look at the fireworks and then go to sleep again :D

    Kids are great, but they do make a impression on your life in so many ways.

    Well, kids change your life, but it only depends on how you yourself deal with it. We used to travel around Europe every year before children. We had to stop for 6 years, but in the year 2022 we started traveling again with 2 year old child. Yes, you have to plan the whole trip basically minute by minute, you need to plan the lunch sleep (drive as much during this time), you have to plan to see all the POIs, so that children would not get tired of doing nothing in the car, but both trips were fantastic :) The planning period was 2 months each time, but we could handle everything and the time went perfectly :)

    Be positive about everything and solve all the issues, and life will be better ;)
