It started in London. I was there for, wow, how long? Three days? Seemed like three weeks. Cold, rainy, dark at 4pm, transcontinental travel, Ambien, fish & chips, trucks unloading just outside the window the Radisson all night long. I wasn't sure if I was sick, tired, both, half-awake, or what. Good times, as always. Thanks, London.

When you're in Germany, you don't have to ash in the sink.
Finally, Poland. These are sparrows, I think, swirling around a big plaza in the middle of Warsaw. Trippy.

Adlai and Shinobu's wedding! Good times. To be honest, it was also a bit of blur, but I remember enjoying every waking moment, even if those moments were technically half-waking.
For the holidays, Hawaii. I did some chocolate-making with Mara and her family. I drank that milkshake, for sure.
This crazy rock was last seen on the beach in the central coast of California, north of Santa Cruz and near some moaning elephant seals.
