It’s a New Year and time for resolutions! Usually, I don’t make resolutions, but this year I really wanted to change a few of my habits for the better. And first and foremost that means more walking. I spend a lot of time sitting in front of my computer and while that’s not going to… [read more]
Sorry about the extra dose of radiation Earth
About ten days ago, I took a pill of radioiodine to treat a hyperthyroid condition and as a result spent the next four days (the number of days in isolation varies depending on much radioiodine people take) doing very environmentally unsound things to protect my husband from being exposed to radiation. Rest assured, this treatment… [read more]
Apologizing for the federal government during vacation
Sometimes you have to take a break from everything, which is exactly what I did on vacation in Mt. Shasta City. It was heavenly. No computer, no traffic, no obligations. Just pure mountain air, fresh spring water and breathtaking scenery. During the trip, I had the chance to meet several wonderful people including a family… [read more]

Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook is basically a really big grassy hill… [read more]
Happy Earth Day!
Earth Day is a time for celebration, but even more important it’s a time for gratitude. Our Earth provides us with everything we need, fresh water, food, shelter supplies and even spiritual and emotional sustenance. Just think of the last time you watched the ocean’s waves roll in or saw a breathtaking sunset. Not a… [read more]
Thinking of Boston
Time to take this egg craft on the road!
It’s been great writing Ocean Wild Things and all, but I found my new talent: egg critters! Yesterday at a friend’s house we all celebrated Easter by dying eggs. At first it was just going to end there, but then my friend pulled out googly eyes, colorful fuzzy balls and some super glue and the… [read more]
Happy trails to a great lady!
One month ago today, on February 11, 2013, my Grandma passed away at the age of 99. I was tasked with writing something for me and my cousin to read at the funeral. I feel compelled to share it because she passed on her love of nature to all of us and because she was… [read more]
