Predictions for 2027

---

I hope my life isn't always how it is. In some areas, I am very happy -

• this list is NOT in order
1. I play drums in Bad Rumor. Bad Rumor has the following dates on our schedule:
1. Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Danny's on Donald in Waterloo, IA
2. Saturday, June 6, 2026, in Higbee, MO -- I am not playing this gig

4. Sunday, June 28, 2026, at The House Divided in Ely, IA
5. Friday, July 17, 2026, at The Shack in Cedar Rapids, IA
6. Friday, August 21, 2026, at The Shack in Cedar Rapids, IA
2. I am the IT Manager - Disaster Recovery at work. I had a meeting on Friday, April 2, 2026, and know more than I will say "now" about my job.
3. I am married to Karen and 8-7-2027 is our 34th wedding anniversary.
4. I have two kids:
• Megan, my daughter, turns 30 on 8-14-2026
• Alex, my son, turns 28 on 10-22-2026
• Alex is married to Hannah
• Alex and Hannah have Wilson, the Austrailian Shepherd
5. My father lives in the Solon Senior Living Center and turns 89 on 4-25-2026.
6. I'm looking forward to a lot of things in life.

While other areas, I am very sad.

1. There are unresolved conflicts in my family and I feel powerless to effect change.
2. My father is unhappy that I am working on selling the house in CR and thinks he should be able to live there alone - he cannot do so.
3. Various little things not worth mentioning in public...
