    Marlene

    by
    November 23, 2020. This is the Marlene bar at the Intercontinental in Berlin, generally my favourite hangout when I'm at OEB. It was a good place to rest after spending the day delivering my workshop on ethics and analytics (which, I thought, went quit...

    Café LebensArt

    by
    November 22, 2022. This is Café LebensArt, where I stopped for lunch on a long 14 km walk through Tiergarten and central Berlin. It was cold but I was well layered and was fine. All that hiking experience pays off. I was able to get a reservation to vi...

    Back in Berlin

    by
    November 21, 2022. Inside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. It feels great to be back in Berlin. I had a bit of a scare when my carry-on was rejected by the airline, but I receive everything fine. I was able to wander around, do some shopping (for co...

    Zurich

    by
    November 20, 2022. This is a sculture in Zurich airport, a really good transit point. Drove to Montreal today, got in an airplane, SwissAir, to be precise, and flew to Zurich en route to Berlin. Things were pretty smooth in Montreal, even though I was ...

    Julia

    by
    November 17, 2022. This is my first photo with the new phone; it's Julia sleeping on the shelf beside my kitchen chair. More computer problems this morning, with the result being that I missed my only meeting of the day. Spent a couple hours trying to ...

    Bright Lights, Small Town

    by
    November 14, 2022. It's late afternoon and we went to the local store to get milk The Sun was low, below the clouds, bathing everything in a bright light. Wrote a couple of short reports, that's it. https://flic.kr/p/2nZPwBz

    Devastation

    by
    November 13, 2022. Last May while bikepacking I had to take shelter from a derecho ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derecho ) - a long storm that devastated eastern Ontario. A lot of forest areas were closed after, including Pine Grove, which was especially har...

    No Man’s Sky

    by
    November 12, 2022. Today was an indoor day spent playing No Man's Sky for the most part. I'm trying to find the fastest way possible to go to the next galaxy (today wasn't it). It's so nice having an Alienware computer that can handle all the demands t...

    Cosmic Adventures

    by
    November 10, 2022. We had to make an emergency run into the drug store today and Andrea remarked on the blotted out sign, which is indeed a bit of an oddity. The weather has been so nice this week but it has been all about work and errands. Arctic prop...

    Branches

    by
    November 9, 2022. This is some tree-like thing on out front lawn. It's right at the centre, it's pretty ugly, but it seems to be thriving. Worked on background reading for the instructional models project today, and also working toward getting a commun...

    Warwick Forest

    by
    November 6, 2022. This is a view of some seed pods in late fall, Warwick forest. We got out for a very short walk today - I'm just ending my sickness, Andrea is just starting hers. https://flic.kr/p/2nYL4HH

    Sunrise

    by
    November 4, 2022. Didn't sleep a wink. Up at dawn to start a day of nothing. This is dawn in the back yard. Sick day number 3 - feeling better but I'm not used to being sick. This may be the longest sick break I've taken in 20 years at NRC. https://fli...

    Dead Leaves

    by
    November 3, 2022. Dead leaves in the back yard. That's all I'm capable of today; I'm just proud I was able to step out the door for a few minutes. Sick day number 2. Spent most of the day sleeping. https://flic.kr/p/2nYQEXq

    Full Sized Bars

    by
    October 31, 2022. We were the 'full sized bars' house at Halloween this year. Sadly, there were no trick-or-treaters (I think we're watching the very end of that tradition). p.s. sorry about the delays uploading (and the gaps in photo-a-day) but what w...

    Atletico

    by
    October 30, 2022. We went to the Canadian Premier League final today. Our team lost to Hamilton, but the city was the big winner as we put 14,992 people in the stands, which for league soccer in Canada is a pretty big deal. It was interesting to compar...

    RedBlacks

    by
    October 29, 2022. It was the last game of the season today and our last hope to see a win. Did we see one? No. The team went a perfect 0-9 at home this year. Maybe next year; the games are still fun and I hear that winning makes them even more enjoyabl...

    Cat and Railing

    by
    October 28, 2022. Anyone who lives with cats knows that their lives are regulated by the carts. There's 'string time', 'lunch time', and as illustrated here, 'the petting zone', meaning I must go downstairs at routine times and pause to play with at le...
