61. Heh, despite my efforts to deny its existence

A great bunch of M/MUMPS is being converted over to COS (M + objects/OOP). The part I can get my teeth into is the conversion part. Getting to do web projects with Zen and CSP is icing on the cake. Insofar as picking M back up (I haven't touched it much in the last 20 years [and if I did, I did washed my hands thoroughly afterward]), accounts payable software is accounts payable software. Luckily, everyone's A/P does pretty-much the same things; no new science there for me.

M is a language of only about 40 words, but trust on this, you can write poetry in it. (Even if nobody can read it LOL)

Thanks for the good wishes. It will be a tough first year but a good deal of fun for me thereafter.
