2 o'clock (Washington's Birthday)
Since 2 o'clock occurs while I am at work, and I cannot take pictures at work due to proprietary teaching materials and student privacy issues, I was stumped about what to do for this picture. I finally decided to take a picture of the Koch snowflake that I made for work last winter. Mathematician Helge von Koch created the Koch snowflake based on the Koch fractal curve. To make one simply start with an equilateral triangle. At the midpoint of each side, another equilateral triangle is added. This can continue indefinitely, but the hardest part in my example was cutting it out. The cool thing about the Koch snowflake is that it encloses a finite area but has an infinite perimeter.
Fun snowflake facts from the Mathnasium website:

The juncos, or snowbirds, like to be down on the ground instead of up in the feeders. Bonus picture of a woodpecker.

Savor
Picture You | What Makes Me Happy
It's Girl Scout cookie time! As a former Girl Scout, I am all too happy to support this project by buying a box or two of Tagalongs to savor. I thought it would be fun to take a picture with my old Girl Scout sash. It brings back lots of memories when I look at this sash and my patches.
All of the news outlets have been abuzz with talk about Amazon's new HQ2 design set to be built in Crystal City, Virginia. The centerpiece of phase 2 is a building dubbed The Helix. The Helix, designed by architecture firm NBBJ, will have two hiking paths along the outside, which will apparently be open to the public on some weekends. The Helix will also feature an interior garden. According to The Architect's Newspaper, construction on phase 2 is set to begin in 2022. This looks to be a winning design for a sometimes unpopular project.

Midday
At midday we were just finishing up bowling, so here I stand on the lanes with my ball and bowling shoes.

Balance
One of the ways I balance my life with a fun activity is to build LEGO projects, mostly architecture themed ones. This is my most recent project. It is a model of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum by Frank Lloyd Wright. For Christmas I also got a double-sided puzzle of the Guggenheim. I'm really looking forward to putting that together sometime soon also.
