The Loud Quiet - Empty Nest Living19 Maalis

From Birthdays to Brackets… March in the Empty Nest - E129

March is full in a different way when you’re in the empty nest.

Rick and Clancy talk about birthdays that don’t carry the same weight, even while they still show up for their kids in bigger ways. That shift leads into a wider conversation about how life looks now... less centered on events, more on everyday rhythms.

They also revisit spring break and travel... what they did then versus what they’re comfortable with now as parents of young adults. A recent trip to Austin brings that into real time, along with how awareness and perspective have changed.

There’s also the usual March mix... St. Patrick’s Day, memories of March 2020, and how certain dates stick.

And in the middle of all of it... March Madness, which still manages to take over the calendar.
