I got a treat this evening! I went on a walk and saw no less than 3 separate frogs (or toads – I’m not actually sure how to tell the difference; they were in the grass by the sidewalk(s)). The littlest one especially was so cute! hiding next to a fake rock by the play-ground set. In other news, this was our local squirrel today: I think this squirrel is actually part dog, the way it likes to plop down…
In honor of the season of cotton-flying-everywhere, here is a picture I took a month ago. Because it was only a month ago that I realized that this town I’ve been living in for 20 years has trees that bloom with lots of pretty white flowers (that sort of look like cotton fluff, but are not cotton fluff, because they’re pretty flowers).
So, last year I was on a small team at work that won one of my company’s annual recognition awards. Which should be at least a small ‘Yay!’ But, the circumstances of the win were such that it actually just made me kind of annoyed, and that flipped the switch in my brain that goes into rant mode.

It has a list with links to all of the stories I currently have out and available (all 1 and ½ of them!). And the other is an FAQ page. It is currently populated with answers to three questions nobody’s ever actually asked me before! I am doing…
So, here’s a crazy thing. I’m writing this on a Wednesday, and as I left work today I was actually feeling a little excited about my job. This shouldn’t be a crazy thing. I work in Astronomy, as a Scientific Programmer, which is a combination of two things I really, really like and am good at. However, for a variety of reasons, not all of them to do directly with my job (you can probably guess one or two), the…
It’s definitely spring time when the gutters around the edges of the parking lot are filled with drifts of pink petals.
Noooo! I broke the palindrome! (hash-tag: this is why numerology will never die)
One of the nice things about watching clouds move is that it reminds me of Fluid Dynamics…the storms on Jupiter…planet forming nebulae. It connects me with my awe.
