It was a foggy and somehow still windy New Year's Eve here in Kodiak.  The lack of visibility didn't deter any of the fireworks, and my 12 year old and I enjoyed a neighborhood show with a beautiful panoramic view from our front porch.  The sky glowed.

A quick celebration is due as 2023 is ushered in.  I'm done with my doctoral coursework!  Whew, this is a big relief.  There were a lot of early mornings of reading and writing.  I worked during vacations and family time...it was a heavy lift at times.  The good new is that I'm done with classes and now the work changes into dissertation research.  5am is still my friend.    

Happy New Year Everyone!
