    Target

    by
    January 17, 2015. With the announcement that Target will be closing we went down to clean them out of Teriyaki tuna and a couple other things nobody else has. It wasn't much. I wanted to get a broom and a sponge mop, but they only had flimsy plastic i...

    Defence

    by
    January 16, 2015. Wrote a post this morning, spin class at noon (that nearly wiped me out), email and catchup this afternoon, and a basketball game in the evening. A lazy day. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1uaJ8Jf

    Polly

    by
    January 15, 2015. Long day, tired. Where would photo-a-day be without cat pictures? Annoyed with people in general today. I'm sure it will pass. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1Al8AIA

    Saint John River

    by
    January 14, 2015. Good discussion about the harvester and data structures this morning, then drove back to Moncton this afternoon, pausing only to take this photo of the Saint John River on the way back. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1E0EHB7

    Most of LPSS

    by
    January 13, 2015. We held our LPSS program workshop in Fredericton over the last two days. This is most of the program team - Susan, Heather, and Patricia are all missing (maybe others too). Some really good session and great discussion. We're located...

    Cole’s Island

    by
    January 11, 1015. Drove to Fredericton this afternoon. About half way, the Canaan River crosses the highway, and a few kilometers down from that we find the hamlet of Cole's Island. So I turned off a bit to capture the winder scene in the failing ligh...

    Victoria Park

    by
    January 10, 2015. Saturday. The usual run to get coffee and groceries, with a basketyball game tonight. Played Civ the rest of the day (yeah, I'm that lazy). This is Victoria Park in the bright blue cold the day after a snowfall. Truly spectacular tre...

    Chilly

    by
    January 8, 2014. Coldest day of the year, dropping to -24 in the evening. This is a tree outside the office. Meetings. Spinning. Catching up on email. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1BHSFZ4

    Moncton

    by
    January 7, 2015. Downtown Moncton as viewed from across the river in Riverview. Another freezing cold day, there was a mist rising off the water. Busy day, full of errands, meetings, and getting ready for next week's workshop. From Flickr http://ift.t...

    Tofu

    by
    January 6, 2015. Freezing cold again today so I wasn't outside much. This is some tofu on display in Costco - I like tofu - especially in hot and sour soup, or with Szechuan sauce - but I didn't buy any. I also liked the bright yellow design of these ...

    Cold Ducks

    by
    January 5, 2015. The temperature started cold and kept dropping through the day, with a strong wind just for fun. I fear for these ducks. They are puffed out and have found a bit of moving water. But the coming cold snap could be really hard on them. ...

    Storm

    by
    December 4, 2015. The snows came over night, then the freezing rain, then the basketball team from Charlottetown. The Storm prevailed over a deleted Moncton squad, while the hometown Miracles were more than accommodating, shooting only 32% from the fl...

    Ice

    by
    January 3, 2015. Back in Moncton. Freezing cold day today, a good day to stay indoors (but of course I went out for a coffee). Ice, no snow yet, but that will change. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1D7FNgU

    Spring Garden Place

    by
    January 2, 2015. We hit the town before driving home today. This photo was taken at the coffee shop in the surprisingly well-designed Spring Garden Place - it's a little downtown mall that uses skylights and mirrors to create a really open and airy in...

    Halifax

    by
    January 1, 2015. Woke up this morning to see nothing but white outside the window as a snow squall greeted the new year in Halifax. The roads were even more slippery that they look, resulting in us staying in most of the day, except to see the Hobbit ...

    All Good things

    by
    December 31, 2014. Still in Halifax, getting ready for comedy, and a little New Year's Eve shopping. 2014 was on balance a good year. The daily photos will continue in 2015 because, well, why not?from Flickr http://ift.tt/1y7Tfzu

    South Street

    by
    December 30, 2014. Looking west down South Street from the Westin where we are staying while in Halifax for another bout of New Year's Eve stand-up comedy ay Yuk Yuk's. Because the best way to see the old year out is to laugh at it. Today: brutally co...

    The Office

    by
    December 28, 2014. I've cleaned out the back room upstairs we have been using for storage. It will be my new office - needed because I'll be spending more time on videoconferences and on camera this year. I'm not planning a major overhaul (because we ...

    Dream Machine

    by
    December 29, 2014. This is the alarm clock that wakes me up (and has done so for ten years or so). That's why it looks a bit beat up. Note the unused iPad case under it. If Microsoft hadn't cheated me out of my downloaded movies (which won't play beca...

    Charlottetown

    by
    December 27, 2014. We stayed overnight and I decided to take advantage of the unusual light, lack of snow, and a polarizing lens to capture this unique perspective of Charlottetown on a December afternoon. These rose hips literally shone in the light ...

    Time Out

    by
    December 26, 2014. We drove down to Charlottetown to watch the Miracles play the Storm. It was a great game, and they put on a great show at the Eastlink Centre. Our team came out on the shoirt end, despite time outs like this. We sat in the 'Anna' se...

    Christmas Rain

    by
    December 25, 2014. Some people say they prefer a white Christmas, but I say give me rain any day. Even this rain, a torrential downpour, that we got Christmas evening.from Flickr http://ift.tt/1t6U6JL

    Car Lot

    by
    December 24, 2014. A quick visit to Honda for the car's annual safety check. Then out to Consolvo for a bicycle trainer. And Home Depot for some cabinets for my new office desk.from Flickr http://ift.tt/1CWoV9V

    Flags

    by
    December 23, 2014. Heading home after work. I'm tired like these flags. It has been a long year, I've worked really hard, it has been good, but I'm ready for the break.from Flickr http://ift.tt/1xaXG9z

    These Trees

    by
    December 22, 2014. We have just a dusting of snow in Moncton right now, just enough to brush the trees with a layer of white. I see these trees every day I'm in the office; they border the parking lot and the building. We used to be bounded on three s...

    Porch Light

    by
    December 21, 2014. A quiet Sunday, a light dusting of snow outside, reading Facebook and some email, and a quick trip to Costco. This is the light on the front porch - it's not nearly as bright as this photo makes it seem.from Flickr http://ift.tt/1GL...
