Stunning sunrise. Happy Sunday!

Benedict’s cookie game is strong.

All aboard, The Polar Express!

iMac is semi-operational. Restored from Time Machine backup, but most preferences weren’t saved. Oh well.

Candlelit dinner to celebrate the Feast of St. Lucy.

Mail carrier leaves a postage due notice in the mailbox. He came to my door to do a pickup and didn’t even ring the doorbell (I was home). I wish I could say this degraded service is a result of the holidays.

Nice little celebration for the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Street tacos for dinner!

On my list of services to shut down today:

• Google Domains
• Google Maps API
• Google Wifi

It was a good year for books. Maybe my best yet.

It’s so nice to walk around the neighborhood in the evening and enjoy all of the Christmas lights.
