Went on a hike in the woods on this foggy and drizzly morning. Saw some pretty mosses and lichens. It was good to go out and breathe fresh cool air after staying indoors for the last couple of days.
Sun from Dec 27, 2024. So many Sunspots! Hazy clouds made it hard to get a crisp nicely focused photo.
Finished watching “Day of the Jackal”. It was good drama and action. The end kind of leaves the story hanging for season 2. I’ll keep it on the list to watch when it comes back.
Wanted to travel somewhere during the break but the kids shot down the idea. They want to stay at home after spending the whole semester away at college. When we went to Barcelona during last holiday break, it felt like we were dragging them to where they didn’t want to be.
After rowing 26 days to complete the Concept2 holiday challenge, it is now time to bike for 26 days.
Saw this hawk sitting on the side of the road. It probably got hit by a car. I stopped and tried calling animal control but no one answered. It flew up to this tree after a few minutes. Hope it was OK. Just shaken up and not badly injured.
Completed the rowing challenge with 8012 m today. That brings the total to 160 kms in 26 days - the most I have done in this yearly thanksgiving to Christmas challenge. My rowing raised $4.40 for Clean Air Task Force.
Saving this here as there is no bookmarking in Bluesky.
Happy Winter Solstice folks! I hope you enjoyed/are enjoying the shortest day of the year in northern hemisphere.
Done with all the holiday parties at work and I am also done with work for 2024. Looking forward to 2 weeks of break with the kids at home from college. I hope I remember my password when I come back to work in January.
