World Suicide Prevention Day
..is September 10th, and I missed it. Which is aggravating because it's something I think is pretty dang important to talk about. So..I'm sliding in just a bit late to do that.
First off? Go visit http://www.iasp.info/wspd/. Great information there.
And really, I'm going to reshare what I wrote last year, because after looking it over, it ( Read more... ) -
The Golden Spoon!

Limping back into biking. Well, more like cursing and falling a lot rather than limping...
I didn't start driving until I was in my 30s. Frankly, I missed out on the need to drive when I was a teenager because I could - and did - bike everywhere I needed to go, including work ( Read more... ) -
Zoo adventure! (in which I attend an overnight as a visitor and not a staff member, for a change..)
Many moons ago, I used to work for the Academy of Natural Science's Safari Overnight program. It's changed a lot since my time...which makes me sound like grandma, doesn't it? Gah ( Read more... )
