Towers
November 5, 2018. Talk day. I had completed my slides before arriving so all I had to do by way of preparation was to fret. I prefer working on slides. This is the view from my hotel window. https://flic.kr/p/2boQj9i

Diriyah
November 3, 2018. Woke up this morning in Riyadh, had some breakfast, took a nap, waled around, and then in the evening went for supper with my hosts (and Tomohiko form Japan) and a tour of the area around Diriyah, an old town on the outskirts of Riyad... -
Lufthansa Technik
November 2, 2018. I spent the full day traveling; the sun rose while we were over the Atlantic, was a beautiful clear noonday in Frankfurt, and had set by the time I reached my destination. I got some sleep, then was able to write a couple thousand wor... -
Fog in the Backyard
November 1, 2018. I got to watch the fog this morning, then I went to the dentist, then I drove to the airport and got onto a plane and left the country. https://flic.kr/p/2bfUofK -
Son of Bones
October 31, 2018. This is our front door today. But it's cold, it's rainy, and it's Wednesday - still waiting for our first Trick-or-Treater. https://flic.kr/p/2baHYDr -

Crows
October 30, 2018. Spent a good day working on JSON and RSS feeds. Costco on the way home, where I spotted a GINORMOUS flock of crows flying overhead - this is only the tiniest sample of it. https://flic.kr/p/2bac7g2 -
The Harvest
October 29, 2018. We had a morning fog today and the photo doesn't really do justice to the hayfield with the woods in the distance. Still was worth seeing, though. I had a security briefing this morning and worked on OPML and RSS for the rest of the d... -
Cardinal in the Rain
October 28, 2018. I spent the day indoors working on a paper. Not that it was very nice outside. In mid-afternoon we had an apple tree full of cardinals, but this was the only one I could photograph before they all took off. https://flic.kr/p/NKm42c -
Croissants
October 27, 2018. Andrea baked while I did some work on the course in the morning, and then in the afternoon we took her croissants and went to visit family. It was her first effort making croissants, and they turned out brilliantly. https://flic.kr/p/... -

Cat Tail
October 26, 2018. This is the back window of a car parked in our office parking lot today, and it made me start the day with a smile. Good day to just attend to errands related to the course; it's really beginning to take shape and I'll be able to get ... -

Taking Flight
October 25, 2018. I stopped on the way into the office when I saw this field full of thousands of geese. I couldn't resist walking up to take a photo of them flying away. The noise was unforgettable. It's a good metaphor for today; I feel I'm finally c... -
Roadside
October 24, 2018. It turned out to be a beautiful fall day, as this roadside view this morning attests. I'm getting some of the backlog in the course covered, fixing things and adding things. https://flic.kr/p/Qhzg3N -
Office Farming
October 23, 2018. Today was a 100% paperwork day, except for the short time spent watering my office farm. Here you see a nice little pepper forming on my pepper plant. https://flic.kr/p/2cqrbtk -

The Road Home
October 19, 2018. This is a cemetery on the side of a rolling hill in Keene, a small town about 8 km off highway 7, which is the route I took from Toronto back home. It took me 8 hours, but it was better than driving on the 401. https://flic.kr/p/2cefHzX -
