Management did the monthly meeting thing this afternoon. They tried to kill us with Powerpoint. Powerpoint has been around since 1987. The 5 by 5 rule has been around almost as long.

I don’t get paid enough to suffer Death by Powerpoint. So, I bailed and grabbed a camera. Like yesterday, I put it in manual mode.
Big activity today was a nice walk to the grocery. It’s making my exercise routine support my lifestyle. Don’t have a car. So, I have to maintain my ability to walk – at least as far as the bus stop. My walk was 2.7 miles. Round trip plus ambling around the grocery. And, on the home lap, I had 11 pounds of groceries to carry. That sort of simulates travel and schlepping a backpack around.
Got plane ticket home from Kona on Xmas Eve today. Still have to decide how to get there. The earth is round. Maybe I’ll fly east not west.
