habits in bulk

When you start buying in bulk, your habit becomes a lifestyle.

reflections

Reflecting on 2025, and reflecting on dissertation research. I feel like my research topic has shifted several times this year, and that shift seems like a perfect metaphor for this year. Shifting direction. Shifting gears. Shifting objectives. 

time

Some years, the days between Christmas and New Year feel like living in an alternate universe. 

morning walk

A total of 3.4 miles in the sun. And, I started thinking that I should commit to posting a picture here every time I go for a walk in the new year. Like the 1/365 “post a day challenge” back when blogging was cool, but just for walks. Then, I started thinking about file hierarchy and how this would look. I’m thinking of posting a numbering system that consists of a number in the title, with a season and month in the tags. 

Christmas Eve & Day

High winds and heavy rain showers on Christmas Eve, with more high winds and rain on Christmas Day. Two of the NFL games were on Netflix, and the evening game was on Amazon Prime Video. Not sure how I feel about that arrangement, but it was delightful spending time with my favorite people.
