Year 50 Day 328

Me walking outside, wearing a grey Norwescon hoodie and a black cap, both of which are spotted with raindrops.

Day 328: We checked before heading out for our morning walk, and our phones told us it wouldn’t rain until sometime in the afternoon. Our phones lied. (But it wasn’t raining hard enough to prevent the walk.)

Year 50 Day 327

Me on a path next to marshland, with a Canadian Goose visible in a pond just behind me.

Day 327: While on our walk this morning, the goose just visible in the pond behind me was standing with another goose on the side of the path. As we walked past, it apparently decided I was a bit too close, and gave me a bit of a hiss as we walked by. Warning taken! These suckers get mean. We stayed well on the other side of the path as we walked back.

Year 50 Day 326

Me sitting in a chair by a sunny window with my laptop open on my lap.

Day 326: Just a nice afternoon sitting in the spring sunshine and working on Norwescon bits (making sure the website schedule is up to date, getting as much music as possible on the laptop for the Thursday night dance, and preparing the social media posts that will get posted during the weekend).

Year 50 Day 324

Me walking on the school’s sports track, wearing a hoodie and hat, and with AirPods visible in my ears.

Day 324: It’s a week before con, and I have only 10 messages in my con email inbox, half of which are song requests just waiting for me to have a chance to find the songs. I’m either doing things very right or very wrong.

Year 50 Day 323

Me, wearing black t-shirt and hoodie, in a hallway at home, smiling.

Day 323: Got my “don’t forget you’re checking in for Norwescon in a week” email from the hotel today…not that I’d forgotten. It’s officially one week from con! (At least, it is if you’re one of the people who show up on Wednesday.)

Year 50 Day 322

Me outside on a sunny day, walking around a sports track, wearing a light hoodie over a black shirt with daisies printed on it.

Day 322: I hope everyone had a good first day of spring! The weather here was great (sunny and 60° F), so I got back out on the track for a lunchtime walk, which I hadn’t done in far too long.

Year 50 Day 321

Me on the couch with a goofy amused smile, and with my wife’s foot next to my head.

Day 321: What was going to be just another “me on the couch” shot was infinitely improved by the sudden appearance of my wife’s foot by my head. I’ve been foot-o-bombed!
