Nina captured this moment one afternoon in September — me at work in my home office. I shushed the kids, then told them I was almost done with my phone call. (Appropo Star Trek quote: “Cap’n, I got ta have tharty minits!”) I love how she’s got that Egyptian profile/face forward thing going on — either that, or my head was turning so fast, it looked like my nose was where my ear belonged. I take it down when the work day is done.

I meant to take a picture every day after “Red sky in morning …” but to be honest, the weather was too lousy! And I was busy doing Christmas Eve, and hosting some friends over for Christmas Day, and getting ready for foot surgery, so I have even more excuses. Still I managed to snap a few images on the 29th, a day before I went under the knife to have some bone spurs removed from my big toe joints. The morning sun was just pushing through the edge of a bank of low-hanging lake clouds.
Now, post-surgery, I’ve figured out how to use my laptop laying completely on my back, with my head barely propped up. I think it’s the most ergnomically smart way I’ve ever computed. I may never go back to sitting up at the computer again! That may be the narcotics talking.
