My new life: a new episode begins

Today is my last (active) day at Adobe: as of next week I will be out on short-term disability and thinking through my new life.
Dealing with cancer has been a very hard experience, both for Linda and I. I pray no one reading this will ever have to deal with it. If you haven’t been there, there’s almost no way to describe what it’s like.
The last year has been hard, both for us and for those around us. Since going back to work in January it’s been challenging as chemo, steroid side effects et al. have become harder. So, short term anyway, we will be trying a new path.
I will miss the routine of the daily CalTrain commute and interaction with Adobe colleagues, but I’ll definitely be staying in touch. I’m looking into learning more about ‘green energy’ and open souce software: we also have a couple other projects under consideration… as always, stay tuned to www.gulker.com for news…

Best of luck. Documenting these experiences has shown that you’re more courageous then you realize.
Always in my thoughts and prayers, Chris. And when you feel up for it, we’ll gather the Adobe gang to meet for BBQ.
Which reminds me… I promised to forward my pulled pork and cole-slaw recipes… coming up in a bit!
Hey Chris,
I’m so sorry I missed saying “see ya later” in person. I’ll miss running into you on the patio. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers though and I’ll be watching for the chance to get together (kinda sounds like a stalker… but you get the idea!). much love,

Ditto, Marianne - I’ll miss your ever-cheery smile… and I do hope we’ll get together sometime…
Good news about the walking, bad about the job. Good luck. htp://worldvista.org is a good open source reference.
