Cool idea Xou.

Staying away from the depressing stuff:

Still married - amazingly enough
Two children moved out - Neither has come back
One grandkid (Lord I'm old)
Same house (now @ 3.75%)
Two corporate mergers
Worked on lots of cool stuff, if you have internet or voice service the chances your traffic isn't traversing something I've touched is near 0%
Realized real life & real people are pretty cool too
Still haven't grown up and don't intend to
