man I've got some of these issues brewing too, retirement looming in the reasonably not too distant future, Costanza-like aging parents 5 minutes away, son & fiance (with probable grand kids to follow) 10 minutes away, daughter & son-in-law (with probable grand kids to follow) on the other end of the state at 250 miles away, girlfriend, to become live-in girlfriend as soon as she's done the motherly launching duties of her 3 offspring, & we have no idea where they'll land but they're all on or very near the launch pad...
lots of moving parts but for now I'm hunkered down in the house I raised the family in, enjoying life, the solitude, & the pause in having to make any big decisions about all this - I'm guesstimating it'll all shake itself out over the next 5+/- years-ish
until then

Just mixed a batch of 00 pizza dough, going to spend the day tomorrow in the outdoor pizza-drinka-relaxa-torium listening to music, sipping a brew or two, & tossing a few Neapolitan pies in the old pizza furnace for the woman and I, & I got a pile of Reece's Big Cups too for dessert, saw them for the first time at the store the other day & tossed'm in the cart, why not right.
Lord, please let the world last at least another day
