Back home after six hours… The first time I’ve ever seen them close the Minneapolis airport. We might have made it out tonight but it is already 10pm and its a 3 hour flight to California! We will try again in the morning.

The bookshelf feature has spawned all kinds of fun. Extracting all the books on my kindle, converting ASIN’s to ISBNs, getting genre information, remembering my favorite authors…. Recreational Programming is always a nice break. 📚 Getting ready for the next big import.

Shoutout to @canion, @burk, and @martinfeld for a fun podcast - Tight Thirty on Hemispheric Views. Here are my own photo selections: [A Reputable Journal] (https://reputablejournal.com/2022/12/29/favorite-photos-of.html)

I watched Spirited and Elf in a 24 hour period. I loved them both. I only know Ryan Reynolds from Wrexham and I’ve never been a Ferrell fan. Now I’m wondering why. 🎥

Merry Christmas

A regular heat wave, with a high of 3 degrees today. It will soon be time to get to work on the Christmas Eve “meat fest”. Sausage, meatballs, and ribs!

The kids all got on the road early this morning to beat the winds – One set just arrived and the other still on the way. Its crazy to watch the snow cascading in large chunks from the treetops. I will breath a sigh of relief when we are all here together. 🎄

I’m ready to declare the winner of the snowman building contest! ☃️
