Trying not to cry in an airport, everyone’s favorite thing.

It was the archaeobotanical analysis for the Sangro Valley archaeological Project on Monte Pallano…eons ago (20 years). But I have been to Lago Barrea and Aufidena and have been enjoying your photos!

I did my dissertation research in the Sangro River Valley. Spent several summers there. I have been many places but it is high on the beauty list.

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.”

32 Bluesky strangers liked my post about a lion at the zoo that had a big ice cube yesterday so I’m going to stick with that.

I had heard this song prior to this weird discussion but it had not even crossed my mind that it might be worthy of being some kind of cultural signifier. It’s a completely average “country” song.

I was at a zoo a couple of weeks ago and they had given a lioness about a 12 inch x 12 inch ice cube that she had her paws wrapped around and was chomping away at. Cocktail lion.

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

If it weren’t for Facebook how would I know that my fourth grade teacher just got a parrot named skittles that likes grilled cheese sandwiches

Honestly, one of the worst parts of my recent breakup has been the loss of the shared language. (Not trying to be sad, but I do know what you mean). Can’t babble the same nonsense to others.

Some fun things from the Scripps underwater pier cam, which I leave running live on an iPad all the time.

There is an eclectic little list of people who I know will always text me back, no matter how long it’s been. I am so grateful to them.

I was his last PhD student. I went to visit near Richmond a couple of times in the last five years; once for his wife Lucy’s wake and once for one of his birthdays. He is the reason I have the job I have and he will be missed.

The feeling of having having been tooling around Europe for a month or so is such a nice one.

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

You can stay in your room, or you can go to the clown/burlesque party you were invited to by a friend of a friend in Nîmes.

For what it’s worth, the French aristocracy puts ice cubes in their rosé.

There are Fourth of July pinwheels on ACOR’s fence and this wild kitty was playing with one. Not a great pic, but trust me, it was very cute.

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.

Paris is the only city I go to on a semi-regular basis that just keeps getting better. We’re going this summer and I can’t wait.
