Retirement

Last Updated: Aug 2, 2023 by Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan · 17 Comments

Well, it is a change of life stage time. It is with mixed emotions that I retired from the practice of pediatrics today. While I have greatly enjoyed my 38 years of working with children, there comes a time to move on. I set the date five years ago with my wife, it turns out it is the correct time for many more reasons.

I'm looking forward to sleeping past 6:30, not having late quick dinners due to being tied up at the office. But mostly I look forward to time with the love of my life, my wife. And having the energy to do things with her and the family.

For you the readers, I will still be around... maybe more. I have been posting about one recipe per week for the last year due to time and energy restrictions. I think it will increase, but there will also be some pauses with a skipped week occasionally. As they say, it will be what it will be.

Blogging is still enjoyable and a great hobby for me. So I'm now a "full-time" food blogger. Now that was not in my high school aptitude testing.

    Rock on, Dr. Dan! We're rounding the last lap toward retirement ourselves. Not sure what that will look like when we get there, but we've done our best to save & plan - and we are excited to find out! Cheers to you and your wife, and thank you for this blog. Cooking only for two has been quite a challenge. Your site has made this transition much easier (with far less waste!). All the best to you & yours. Enjoy!
