Annabel retired from Redgate Software this week. Across most of my career at Redgate, I’ve participated in many events, some we hosted, some we sponsored. At most of these events, Annabel has been a part of organizing, financing, executing (or all three) the events with me.…

or this
I can take a breath. After a stretch of in and out, I am home for 4+ weeks. My body still isn't sure what time zone I'm in, but I get to sleep in my bed, spend time with my wife, catch up on a few projects, and start coaching some kids again.

Change is inevitable for most of us. The jobs we hold, the places we work, the people we know, even our families grow and change over time. As I get older and live longer, I've learned to accept, appreciate, and flow with changes. I might resist, delay, embrace, or anticipate tomorrow, knowing there is always a positive and negative side to things.
Both as a DBA and developer, I've had plenty of immediate, this-is-broken, fix-it-quickly issues. Usually, I, or someone else, wrote some bad code and somehow got it deployed.

I'd (almost) never do that, and I'm sure you wouldn't either.
