Daaaaaaaaamn.... I have tremendous respect for people like you who must deal with human tragedies on a daily basis (cops, doctors, lawyers, social workers and the like). I’d go nuts in the first week.

Got an invite to a final round interview for a job. They're flying me out even! And boy are their arms tired. Good luck.

Took brother for his 50th birthday to a shooting range along with a couple of other brothers, my son, and sister-in-law.
He's a detective with a good selection of guns and experience at this range. I haven't had a gun for years and had never been to a range. We all took turns with his pistols of his and another brother's and then we all had a clip with a sub-machine gun.
That was fun.
We then all went for steaks and beer, then the arcade, then back to my son's for drinks, video games and movies.
Great birthday party for my bro and we all had fun.
Gonna do the same thing for my dad in November; he's impossible to shop for.

I have shot a BB Gun, 22 Long Rifle, and a .357 Magnum. Machine Gun ... would make your arms a bit wobbly after using it.

My Trip to Fort Lauderdale / Atlanta
I'll be leaving on the 30th taking a night-owl flight from Seattle and arriving in Fort Lauderdale around 7am (or so) and my dear friend will pick me up and take me to his home. On the 31st, we'll have a meeting (all friends presents) except a couple in Atlanta that will house us ... and on the 1st of February, we'll fly to Atlanta and rent a van for the six of us so that we can get to our friend's place by Dinner Time on the 1st of February.
From the 2nd of February to the 14th February ... we'll all have an early dinner (14th) together and Barbara (my girlfriend) and I will fly back home on the 15th and proceed from there. I'm a night person and we'll be hitting all the great restaurants in Atlanta and see some sights as well and not spending much time at them. Basically, the eight of us are planning on talking about their lives after College and share anything you like. It will be a great time together and I haven't seen them for more than 15 to 20 years and with deaths of my parents hold me back.
My friend who is a multi-millionaire is paying my airfare and flying first class all the way and told me that he is footing the bill for the all of us and this trip isn't costing me anything. I met him a year ago and I told him a couple months ago that I can make it right now and he was thrilled about it. He picking me up at the airport and we are super-excited about it. He told me to pack less and he wants to get me a tuxedo and I'll be wearing at nights for dinner. He and I will handle that first thing when I land and we may have to wait an hour to get it done. We are hitting a Starbucks nearby and have some Coffee and chit-chat before our tuxedo fitting and all that.
I'll be back here on the 18th of February ... and this is going to be my first vacation since 2012.

I knew someone who had gout. Not good, I hope you can get it under control.

Honestly though I’ve only had three comebacks since the initial outbreak in October 2018. So honestly I am trying to figure out ways to get it under control. I just don’t like the ways to get it under control if you know what I mean.

I like your shipping some stuff to Ft Lauderdale ahead of time.
Good thinking.
Have a comfortable, on-time flight.

Be safe Mecha. Flying making me nervous as hell so I always have to schedule afternoon flights so I have time to stop at the airport bar for some liquid bravery.
