Mediterranean archaeology, but I like to think I’m even more fun than that. Overseas research center employee, but California resident.

Deep murk today because of the hurricane swell, but a big school of zebra perch passed through. Fish have no control over their lives.

ABC news just described two new Sumatran Tiger cubs at the Fort Worth Zoo as “both about the size of a large pumpkin.”

Where are leaf blowers most commonly used? In this completely leafless courtyard of my condo complex every Monday morning.

Good fish day on the Scripps Pier cam. Juvenile blacksmiths, top smelt (I think), and I think some kind of perch.

The red card against Balogun was a bad call, but given the apparently corrupt circumstances under which it was suspended, the only ethical choice is for Balogun to voluntarily sit the match out. If he plays there will always be an asterisk not only on his performance, but on that of the whole team's

I love the reaction of cat lovers upon seeing a cat. Every single time the level of excitement is like they've read about cats for decades but never actually seen one in real life and they're SO EXCITED. Every. Single Time. Even if it's the hundredth cat they've seen that day.

Some people call me to steal my Netflix, other people send me alerts not to go to the Middle East (which is the plan shortly). All comes from love.

How to know you’re in Boston: you apologize to the bellhop for your heavy bag, and say, it’s books. Bellhop says, when it’s too heavy, it’s always books.
