Thank you for sharing 2021 with me. Now on to the next year.

I've just created something great today. You'll see the results in 2022, but for now here's a photo of my parents which always hangs in my office (that is whenever I stay somewhere long enough to have an "office"). I like to look at them and give them a mental high-five whenever I feel like I've done something clever ☺️.

China’s traditional Qixi (“Double Sevens”) Festival has been celebrated for at least 2000 years. Since the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 CE), on the seventh night of the seventh month, young women would work with needle and thread in the moonlight and pray for a good marriage in the future. After an incense burning ceremony, they would then gaze at the night sky for the two stars, Vega and Altair, which are separated by the vast expanse of whiteness of the Milky Way, and make their wishes as children picked wild flowers and hung them around horns of oxen.
