Lost in the abyss of sand and sky.
Once upon a time I used to read all sorts of books. Loved every one of these 2 decades ago!
WTF? WTF is wrong with people? Just go get eaten by a shark please I promise you it will feel much nicer.
The math head presented a great slide imo and conveyed everything she wanted to in less than 5 minutes. The on-level vs honors level qn were on-point. I will be sheepish to say I really couldn’t figure out honors level qn - the smarty pants in me was like oh yeah I can tel you the answer right away, and then I was just blank. Definitely had a are you smarter than a 5th grader? moment.
Yesterday we attended the high school orientation session for our school district (yeah i know its only January!). It was a great with each department head presenting options freshmen students will have as they start thinking about their classes in 9th grade. While they all acknowledged that options and AP courses increase from 10th grade, 9th grade still offered lots of interesting options for students to take. The kid and us all agreed that she would absolutely take 9th grade Humanities program which is a combination course between World History 1 Honors and English 9 Honors, and both subjects are taught together. I absolutely love the course work that this program offers - luckily, kid is thrilled about it too! In addition to these kid was interested in Student Government Association, as well as taking a course in Marketing and maybe, just maybe attempting a CyberSecurity elective. Way too many choices so we have some hard conversations ahead in next couple of months, but we absolutely know Humanities is going to be in her selections.
lol. Forget Asia, they can’t even compare to three star hotels of USA. A random ass 3 star in USA is miles better than a 4-5 star hotel in Europe. Asian hotels are a pipe dream.
Inner cities
about time.
Feels like 4F. Needless to say our electric heat pump for first floor has gone completely kaput. Surprisingly the second floor heat pump is chugging along just fine.
Leading the way (also, snow zoomies are real zoomies!)
Just the kind of day to keep staring at my wallpaper hoping for this instead
We are in deep winter now. The absolute worst parts of winter are Jan and Feb, and its living up to reputation. Last few winters haven’t been this cold.
Well, fuck. Even worse it’s just sleeting now but hey looks pretty
🎶I just love free food (free food), And you look like seafood (seafood)🎵
Enjoying his first snowfall

Interesting. The pedometer app says I walked 3.2million steps in 2024 vs 3 million in life cycle. I wonder which is more accurate? I think pedometer because I switched phones and I remember for a bit lifecycle had offloaded to cloud - but then they both use the same apple health metrics in background so not sure why the discrepancy. 3 or 3.2 I don’t care I am still glad about it. Of course the highest walking day was summer trip.
