Jake and I spent the last part of the year at our Valhalla Beach Shack. Highlights included:
50th High School Reunion
Celebrating high school reunions over the Thanksgiving weekend is a tradition. This year was number ‘five-o’ for me. It was a lot of fun, and I talked with people I have not spoken to since then. Thanks to the cheerleaders – still at it these many years later – for putting it on.
I went with many of the people there for all twelve years! Like me, their parents were brought in for the space program. I fondly remember walking single file down to the beach to watch the launches π with many of these folks. Interesting times indeed.
Meanwhile, back at the beach shack…
As immortalized on the album A1A released fifty years ago. RIP Mr. Buffett.
Oh Come All Ye Pastafarians! Ramen!
I finished the west wall of the living room to add some more mood lighting and a spot for my carved turtle.
A stroll downtown on Winter Solstice. Cool murals are everywhere now in our little tourist town.
Panama City Christmas Time
I spent Christmas with Dave & Lisa in Panama City. We got out in the boat several times, ate some delicious oysters, and feasted on Lisa’s culinary decadence!
Christmas Day Sunset over the Bayou
Falcon Heavy Night Launch
Elon and Co launch π top secret spy space plan into high orbit on a spectacular π€© evening!
