What year was it?

Notable movies released this year:
Star Wars
Mad Max

Quick, what year is it? If you answered with anything, you're wrong. No Star Wars and Mad Max movie ever came out on the same year. But if you guessed 1980something, you'd be sort of right.

It having been several months since I moved, everything is settled, patterns have formed - my life actually feels normal. And not in the 'getting settled after moving' kinda way, but more completely. Before, my work schedule was always variable. My hours worked were a constant source of disconnection with my family and friends. Just the simple change from working 'whenever they schedule me, nights weekends evenings holidays' to 'M-F, 7-3' changed the entire feel of my life. I'm finally in sync with my family, have the same time off as my friends. I see my kids more often, talk to my friends more often. I *do* more.

I do miss Buffalo, but the tradeoff simply wasn't fair. Seeing my kids for 45 minutes a day vs getting tackled when I get home from work and swamped in a sea of lego, plushies, and video games wasn't a choice, it was obvious.

I kicked 2015's but.
