Wild Kingdom
Well, to give the whole story, I'm sick. Sore throat, want to sleep, that kinda thing. I went by campus health today, and was lucky enough to get an appointment right away. I have a virus, there's not treatment except for treating the symptoms. If I rest, it will go away. No big deal ( Read more... ) -

We survived the SPX

New week. Good morning.

The thinking and writing was not so bad, but researching 23 items individually and then justifying their place in the New York Historical Society's library collection? Well, let me just say that there are a lot of ( Read more... ) -
No Place To Build A Web
A beautiful, huge yellow-and-black spider surprised me on the way out the door this afternoon. Apparently, sometime during the day, she decided that the doorway was the perfect place to construct a classic orb web. At around knee level. So, as pretty as it and she was, I was halfway through the web before I saw it, and she was running for the wall ( Read more... ) -
