Update on 2015-2016 goals

Summer 2016-
I am making progress on them in several areas and it feels good.  This summer, my wife's cousin who is a professional musician, came up to visit.  He taught me the underlying rules for the major, minor and blues scales.  I have practiced them a couple of times and need to continue practice them.  I've gone on several small hikes with my son and would like to take a larger hike before the summer is out.  I've been going for a walk 20 minutes each day and have started to lose weight.

On the professional front, I have enrolled in Southern New Hampshire University's Masters program.  I have taken two classes.  During the 2015-2016 school year, we studied physical science and I did some new things.  I tried several engineering projects that I think were very successful.  Students built a thermos, edible car, Rube-Goldberg Machine and others.  Still can do more work around my goals but am happy with the progress I've made with them up until this point.
