The New Year brought a trip to the Canadian mountains in Banff. Beautiful landscapes of snow and mountains, despite the -16F temperatures. One of the highlights was probably standing in the middle of the lake or enjoying the hot springs.
Celebrating the new year in Banff, Canada this year. It’s insanely cold here though, so cold we filled the flask up with Canadian Rye before heading out in the -18F weather for the photo hike. The hotel is amazing but walking even just down the street and you are a human meat-sicle. by the time you get there.
Movie historians baffled that critics of the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi were expecting more serious toned literary greatness from the predecessor of a samurai space opera knock-off of Flash Gordon (Seriously, look it up, Lucas wanted to originally do a Flash Gordon movie but couldn’t secure the rights).
No spoilers, you’re welcome.

A quick road trip to Colorado with my drone proved to give great results on capturing video unlike I’ve been able to back home. Stunning treetops and river runs give a new experience to Colorado that I haven’t enjoyed until now. Some more techniques to learn but this was a good first effort.
Another trip West to Australia and New Zealand.
The earth, the universe, and the stars seem never-ending to a species that lives for about 71 years, incapable of perceiving long term change while stuck to a planet and kept busy

Rogue One is the first attempt at spotlighting a side story to the normal Skywalker storyline in a major release. The teasers allowed us to see that it took place around the time of the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, and that it would involve something to do with the rebellion and the construction of the first Death Star.
I purchased an adjustable height desk from Autonomous and it arrived this week. Very please with the solid structure of the components and how easy it was to put together. I’ve only had it for two days and I love it.
I was always told that Corpus Christi, Texas was much nicer and cleaner than Galveston. That proved to be false. It wasn’t bad, but Galveston felt about the same and with a better ocean view.
Some work on the house this weekend with a great deal of help.
There’s a photo I took of my son as a young kid, red sweater, red backdrop, laughing, framed on my living room console table. Last week I noticed a small sliver of yellow paper sticking out of where you put the photo in, so I opened it. Behind the photo was $50 and a post-it note from my mom that simply read “I love you son”.
