i thought it’d be fun to get a festive picture in front of the christmas tree with grandparents and cousins but didn’t anticipate odin would block most of the tree. he’s almost taller than grandma!

day 4190 – 354/365. odin’s michigan relatives love giving the gift of red wings gear.
he’s too kind to tell them the minnesota wild is his favorite team.
just kidding! i think he likes them both equally 🙂
353/365. /me shakes fist at chicago traffic for the umpteenth time.
doing deep breathing exercises while thinking calming thoughts. over 20 years of living in chicago or attempting to get through chicago en route to visit family has led to plenty of fist shaking.
352/365. a counterintuitive observation about backyard chicken flock size and the number of eggs on hand.
since we downsized our flock from 8 birds to 4 and got out of the egg distribution business we have way more eggs on hand. before with a market in place, we’d sell or give most of the 56 eggs The Girls produced a week and found we were often short of eggs for our own use. now, without any regular customers – whoooweeee – 4 eggs a day can pile up fast!
in hindsight, 4 hens is the absolutely wrong size flock for us. too few eggs to make it worth the effort to set up regular customers and too many eggs for our weekly needs.
351/365. the view from the penalty box during a tough game.
i was manning the penalty box with a great view of a tough game against black river falls. odin’s team lost 2-8 and hopefully learned a lesson about not playing as a team against a formidable opponent.
350/365. fondue and sauna. not simultaneously.
i am not a regular fonder, but after sampling some cheese fondue made with ov heavy whipping cream, i think holiday fondue is going to be a new tradition!
day 4185 – 349/365. one of us wanted to go to the star wars premier.
and one of us wanted to go to the high school girls’ hockey game. one of us got his way.
actually, his logic is sound. we can catch the movie anytime, but this particular game only happens once. #priorities
