Time to move on

I was deployed several times this year by FEMA -- to Michigan, Illinois, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida -- five states in four months!

And the big news is that I have now retired as a federal emergency response official. 

I’ll miss all my FEMA friends and colleagues, but being away from home so often over 8 ½ years was getting harder.
