NGL—I am big happy to see 2024 in my rearview mirror. If any year deserves to be yeeted into the sun, this was it. If it weren’t for highly valid misgivings about 2025, that would be the end of it, but here we are.
Still—I’ve got a couple of things I can work on, like
getting better at yoga and photography. And writing more. And being more alert
to opportunities to be a better friend. Political shenanigans shouldn’t
interfere too much with those goals.
So I’ll do my usual end-of-year ritual tonight: burning
El Año Viejo and washing it down with a glass of champagne. Then I’ll
launch el Año Nuevo by taking my neighbor to the airport at 0600 and
then going for a walk.
Here are a couple of the folks I met on my morning walks
this month. I hope I see more of them in 2025.
And have the best 2025 you can.

Blue Herons are possibly my favorite bird. Maybe because I was in my 30's before I even knew they existed much less saw them. We don't have them in the Midwest that I am aware. When I worked at SLAC (Menlo Park, CA) I drove past one who was especially tall, fairly rough looking, not the sleek blue you sometimes get. He seemed like a warrior to my Chicago eyes. So here is a toast to my personal black swan warrior - the Blue Heron.
I think this is the guy I used to see at the corporate HQ behind my house. He's making do here with the golf course, while his pond is being messed with by the builders. He's been my buddy for at least five years.
