Patterns across the years...

The familiar ANC Airport

Life is full of deja vu, and I like to see patterns across the years. I see patterns in days, weeks, and more importantly, years. As the first year fully based in Alaska, with spring and fall semesters and largely free summer, this year is unique. However, I can already see this could become a template for many years to come. I will likely say in 2025 and in the future years, "this year largely felt like 2024." This was my first 9-month work year! That allowed me to travel extensively in the summer for conferences and personal trips.
