And with this empty truck, the fifteenth year of this phlog comes to an end. That’s 5,479 days worth of photos. Sometimes just one, sometimes many.

On December 4, 2010, I started an experiment – could I make and post a photo online, every day, for a year, using a camera my wife bought me. The first round was tagged 1-4-365-4-40. Read it out loud and you’ll see why.

This post marks the end of 1-4-365-4-54. It saw travels across Georgia, up to Virginia, out to Wisconsin, to Texas, to Pennsylvania and to Paris. The French one, not one of the many American ones. Friends, pets, cars, roads, students, colleagues, light, laughter and some love are all in there.

Tomorrow, I suppose, will commence 1-4-365-4-55.

I started seeing a chiropractor a few years back, incredibly helpful.

I have probably spent more time than most pondering headlights. Intensity, pattern, color, throw – a lot of time driving at night. My current car is tied for my best-ever headlights, I think.

As I worked on this phlog, I had some help appear in the form of a one-eyed Goose. Worth taking a break.

A follow-up Friendsgiving, more laughter and food.

It truly is my favorite day of the year, a day to be thankful for not what we have, but who we have. A smaller gathering this year, neither kid came home and most of our friends, colleagues and students had other placed to be. But five of us sat, ate, laughed and ended the day sated, physically and emotionally.
