Happy New Years Eve!

Happy New Years Eve!
Prepartations were being made today, and I was watching my nephew, so I didn't get to the comic that I wanted to. Watch this space. It'll be here. Hopefully, with the New Year.

Merry Christmas 2022

Merry Christmas!

Fire D Cannon on D orders of D Major Johann Pachelbel.

Credit to Trans-Siberian Orchestra for the lyrics.

I'm sure I've heard this played in recent years, but this year it seemed to be in heavy rotation on the Internet station I was listening to at work. The funny thing about it is that when I hear it, it reminds me of something from a long time before TSO put their version on any album. I think this was used for TV commercials, specifically, diamonds and diamond rings, but I couldn't tell you what store. (They're probably not around any more.)

I only put the refrain in the comic because that's all I know and remember of the song. I looked up the rest, but I figured, this is what others might recognize, even if they didn't know the name of the tune was "Christmas Canon", based on Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D Major.

Again, have a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas

At the in-laws, Christmas Eve has always been a fish dinner. It's called 7 fishes, but I've never counted them to know if it referred to the number of fishes or the number of fishes dishes. I've heard references to the 7 Sacraments and to the 7 Hills of Rome.

For the record, I eat some of them, but some members of the family have plain pasta with any clam sauce.

The family tried to recreate my FIL's tradition as best as they could. New traditions will be in the offing in the years ahead.

Long Lay The World...

Pining for the fjords. Or for presents. Or something.

My apologies if I've done this one before. I know I've thought it before.

It's a crazy time. I've come up with a couple of good ones, but the fact that I don't remember them a day later tells me that they weren't that memorable. I've been listening to Christmas music radio, so anything inspired by a song would reoccur to me should I hear it again. Much like the above comic.

I do have one more comic that I might start for next year because it'll take time that I don't have. Plus I have a couple other thoughts that I need to use this year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season and a Happy New Year to everyone out there who has kept me going. I plan on updating again before Sunday, but if I don't make it, I want it printed now.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate you whether you post or not. Especially those who post when I don't make math errors, but when I do, too.

O Christmas Tree

I said shapes because my hand-drawn triangles didn't look like triangles. But they are similar!

I'm learning to code Scratch, even as I facilitate a class where the students are learning it as well. I doodled this Christmas tree so I could make an animated of a tree dancing around.

This is a learner's version of it, not a professional version. That is to say, the animation and music synch up sometimes, but it could synch up a lot more.

Dancing Xmas Tree.

It's Beginning ...

Beginning of a new season. Hopefully, there will be more updates in the next 9 days!

The thought of those updates obviously horrifies Michele.

Problems

It's good when you can pinpoint what your problem is. Or "problems are".

My problem is limited amounts of time. More to do at work and longer tirips home eat away at the time I have to do other things. And one problem I have is that I'm accumulating "other things".

I didn't realize that two weeks had gotten away from me since the last update.
