Marisol got a p sweet gig to put her drawings on a pair of skis.

Something oddly satisfying about turning things you would normally throw away into super healthy soil.

Big batch of compost that we’ve been working for 2 years is finally ready to use in/on the yard. I am far too psyched about this.

However, if I simply would have booked the apartment for the day before we arrived, we would have been golden.

It was cold and rainy today and neither kiddo got much sleep on the plane. Sooooo, a 10 hour window with no place to be was a problem.

We managed to find an amazing hotel that gave us an early check in at 10am. Worth every penny.

Travel screw up on my part - we had a redeye to Iceland and I booked an apartment for the day we arrived. Only problem is we get in at 5 am, check in is at 3pm.

That works out fine on warm weather trips.

The kids and I are heading to Iceland tonight to chase the Northern Lights. Hopeful that we get the chance to see them.

In just some outstanding planning on my part I’ll be in Iceland with the fam while the birds are in the Super Bowl. If anyone knows where we should watch the game…

We traded in our Jeep Wrangler today for a car that will be easier for our soon-to-be 16 y/o to learn in. Time flies.

Had to run our younger berner in to have a lump checked out - thankfully, it was just a cyst and benign. These amazing dogs are, unfortunately, cancer-prone. This diagnosis is p much the best possible outcome and I am v relieved.

Wondered if my son was too old for stuffed animals (aliens) then found this

Surprise guest

The kiddo found a new canvas for her work.

Living Colour - Type YouTube video by LivingColourVEVO

Science and technology
The new mythology
Look deep inside
Empty

We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where the truth is concealed
This is the time when the lie is revealed
Everything is possible, but nothing is real

Designed a thing for a friend and p happy with how it turned out.

Is 171,641 minutes of music more or less than what you listened to this year?

My daughter has dealt with being bullied at school for the past 4 years. What is bizarre to me is that anywhere else but a place of learning, bullying would be dealt with. In the real world, it is harassment, assault, or throwing hands. In school, it's 'kids being kids.' She's ok, just frustrated.

Was not paying attention this am when I put on my shirt & managed to honor John Brown on the anniversary of the day he was executed by the state in 1859:

I'm happy that so many of the accounts I followed over the years at the other place are moving here. It was tough to consider leaving after spending years finding interesting folks in sports/design/music/art/news.
