The last two years have been super stressful. Here’s hoping 2025 trends in a different direction.

Brazil (1985) is a Christmas movie to watch with the kids. Historical documents are the best. They are suitably horrified.

Edited to add: They may not forgive this one for awhile.

I am super grateful for the opportunity to share my enthusiasm about server-side performance with my coworkers.

My children have a unique sense of humor.

12 eggs from eBay,
31 days,
1 successfully hatched turkey, and
2 Tractor Supplies later…

The final damage stands at:

• 1 Sweetgrass turkey
• 3 Broad Breasted White turkey chicks
• 3 Broad Breasted Bronze turkey chicks
• 6 bantam chicks for Madeline
• 4 green-egg chicks for the general flock

I need to sell half of my duck flock to restore equilibrium. Thanksgiving and Christmas menus seem to be set.
