Who are you, and what did you do with the illiterate GordonC?? 😁

Seriously though, are you teaching this semester, or have you taken retirement?

How do you handle all the stresses and uncertainties with your wife's health and keep such a good humor on here?

I feel like there are some real bitter folks who don't deal with half of what you do.

Some days I deal with it better than others. I try to be frivolous when I can. Yesterday she did not know my name. It is still surreal and emotionally numbing.

The banter here I enjoy it a lot bc for that time it distracts me.

I am really glad that bc of my heart meds, I cannot drink, especially taking benzos and tizanidine.

Her mobility is good. She can bathe herself, get dressed, go up and down steps (no walker), go to the bathroom when she needs to. She has gained weight bc shes eating well.

I am waiting for removal of feeding tube bc we have decided not gonna do that again. Shes been off it for 3 weeks.

The issue is 0 out of 15 on the cognitive assessment still. And zero safety awareness. She has 10-12 words.

It's hard on the patient and loved ones. MBRO went through glioblastoma at the same time my cousin did. My cousin and I were close, and I did not withdraw from her as her disease progressed. I would see that she recognized me and could not find my name in her memory. I would smile and say, "It's [Tin Man]." The last time that I saw her face to face, she was very lucid that day. She (haltingly) told my wife of her courtship with her husband. COVID hit, and in our last virtual visit, she told me it was too hard for her. She was sad and frustrated. I told her that I loved her and we would meet when the pandemic passed. We never did meet again. She died during the height of hospitalizations. There was no funeral. I still feel her absence, though I relate to her husband, siblings, and children from a life-goes-on perspective.

I like your answer because now I know what you do, but I still don't know what it is you do.

I am a professional cat herder.

The Inflation Reduction Act gives companies incentives to invest in renewable energy. Most of the companies do not have the overall footprint to fully utilize all incentives so IRA allows renewable energy companies to sell/transfer incentives to companies that can fully utilize them. In short, we match buyers and sellers, arrange for legal due diligence, incentive review, monitor regulatory changes, arrange payment terms, and assist in underwriting of any type of insurance needed. The buyers all have different year ends, different risk tolerances. The sellers have different levels of credit worthiness and cash flow requirements.

It's a balancing act to make sure both buyers and sellers can reach a mutually agreeable agreement while earning a small spread for yourself.

Do you think renewable energy will spark developments in other areas?
