New things since last post when my Mom passed away

Since then I have semi-retired, although I am a substitute teacher part-time and usually teach at just one school when called.  It is very few and far between.  However, since last post, I have started on-line Law School (one of my bucket list items) and also am pursuing a Criminal Justice and Political Science degree from LSU-A.  So far, I have a 4.0 in Criminal Justice and just added the Political Science part.  I have been given credit for some previous law school study (Western State University in San Diego, California in 1984-85) and some other legal schooling I have had.  I also have had legal courses at LSU-A.  I have had Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure (under Federal Courts) and others.  I should be finished with the Law School in about a year or so.  Normally, it takes about 3 years, but if go through Summers, it can be accomplished in 2 years.  That is what I plan to do.
Also, since last post, my son, Ian got married to Tori (Duarte) about 2 years ago and they both graduated from Louisiana Tech (Ruston, La) about a year or so ago.  Ian is an Electrical Engineer and Nano-systems Engineer and is working for the federal government in Utah.  Tori also will be shortly working for the State of Utah in her field which is associated with child protection.  I think she will be an advocate for the children as a state worker.
My daughter, Sarah also graduated a few years ago from Louisiana Tech in Ruston and then (after a few small jobs) went to work as a recruiter for Tech.  She worked there about 2.5 years.  Now, she is in Madrid, Spain where she is pursuing the learning of Spanish and hopes to teach English as a second language some day.  She is helping to pay for the school by working as an Au Paid for a family in Madrid.  Sarah also has a new boyfriend, Fran who also lives in Madrid.  More later and may go back some for explanations.
