The Internet was really flaky at Chateau Steelypips for the last couple of days, and I was kind of busy yesterday, so I’ve got a bit of a backlog of photo-of-the-day posts. This is another document-my-activities post, from a day full of talk preparation. As a change of pace from just reading the text out… Continue reading 093/366: Talk Prep, continued

092/366: Rejected Currency
It’s cold and rainy today– you know, like it’s supposed to be in December in the Northeast– so a good day to stay inside with the camera and be randomly artsy. My desk is currently hosting a larger than usual pile of change because SteelyKid found a coin-collecting thing she got a few years ago… Continue reading 092/366: Rejected Currency
091/366: Turkey Talk
Not an incredibly artistic or innovative bit of photography, here, but I spent a good chunk of the day taking The Pip for his annual physical, so the only pictures I took were of SteelyKid’s schoolwork: This assignment asked her to draw herself asking a question that a turkey would then answer, and then the… Continue reading 091/366: Turkey Talk
090/366: Kids These Days
We had our usual tv time on Sunday morning at my parents’, with the kids alternating picking what they watched. When it came around to SteelyKid’s turn, she opted for MythBusters, which wasn’t available on demand, but she has several episodes on her tablet. Of course, if SteelyKid was going to watch video on her… Continue reading 090/366: Kids These Days
089/366: Seasonal
Saturday was still warm, but grey and rainy, so we needed indoor activities. We took the kids down to the Roberson Museum to see their annual Christmas display, with lots of trees donated and decorated by local organizations, toys and games from the 50’s and 60’s, and a giant model train display. And the “International… Continue reading 089/366: Seasonal
088/366: Geese
So, today, we engaged in the traditional Black Friday activity of, um, going to the park and chasing birds: It was an unbelievably warm day for late November– if you look closely, you can see that SteelyKid is wearing shorts and a T-shirt– so we couldn’t very well sit inside. So we went across to… Continue reading 088/366: Geese
087/366: Happy Thanksgiving
We’re at my parents’ house in Scenic Whitney Point, NY, for Thanksgiving, so of course there’s only one appropriate subject for the photo of the day: That’s our traditional turkey dinner, from my seat at the table. We ate very, very well, as always, and the kids have been generally very good (with a few… Continue reading 087/366: Happy Thanksgiving
086/366: There Can Be Only One
We’re visiting my parents for Thanksgiving, and one of the highliughts of any trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa is that they have Nerf swords for the kids: This raged for a good while before dinner. Hopefully, they’ll sleep well tonight…
085/366: $27.00
I spent a good chunk of the morning across the river at the Honda dealership, because of this: That’s the nail that they pulled out of my right rear tire, which had developed a slow leak late last week. It was one of those leaks that took several hours to significantly reduce the pressure, and… Continue reading 085/366: $27.00
084/366: Woodpecker
I was headed outside to take a bunch of photos with which I plan to do some SCIENCE!, but that won’t be the photo of the day, because this little critter was energetically banging on the side of our house when I got outside: I think this is probably a female downy woodpecker. Though I… Continue reading 084/366: Woodpecker
