GalesAZ: year-end 2017

"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

year-end 2017

random T'giving day scenes

2017 Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year's cycle was a fun follow-on to the year's full calendar.

ASU tailgating (T'giving weekend)

With all the travels earlier in the year, there were less days during the holidays when we all were together in Arizona. A plus: Sreedhar and Janu were still in Arizona to help us observe Thanksgiving.

Sreedhar took the lead in preparing a pretty amazing meal - bittersweet to be using
