365/365 : And that’s that
I asked Danielle to hold off on finishing her puzzle until today, as I thought it would make for a fitting end to the project and a good metaphor for the end of a most confounding year. May 2022 be better for all of us!

363/365 : The Pareto Principle
The Pareto Principle—sometimes known as the 80/20 rule—states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the “vital few”). It can be applied to economics (80% of the wealth is held by 20% of the people), software engineering (fix 20% of the bugs, eliminate 80% …
361/365 : The bird
Although it’s the 27th, today is the day we celebrated Christmas with my parents, who came over for a gift exchange and a meal. For me, Christmas dinner means turkey, so that’s what I prepared. An almost-15lb fresh (never frozen), free-range bird that spent just shy of 4 hours in …

The spirit of the season is spreading! Just a few days ago I spotted a random act of ornamenting in the woods near my house, and today I spotted these in the woods down near the Ottawa River. There were dozens of decorated trees, but my wife wouldn’t let me …

356/365 : Socks!
I don’t think I’ve done a socks shot yet this year. Now this one wasn’t completely out of desperation, mind you—I happened to notice that Danielle and I were lounging in very matching outfits… blue jeans, Glerups slippers and bright reddish socks. After almost 30 years together, I guess the …
355/365 : Random acts of ornamenting
‘Tis the season, I suppose! Found this random Christmas ornament on a tree during my regular walk through the woods near Princess Louise Falls. I kept my eyes open for others, but this seems to be the only one…
