Let me tell you something about me: if I get even three drops of rain on me, my hair reverts to the Galician hair of all my ancestors. Red, random curls, and completely unmanageable.

One thing that I cannot understand about Bluesky is how hard it is to get any engagement on work-related posts! We used to be so supportive of such posts back in the good old days of Twitter, what happened?

A very happy birthday to my husband! Made him a hummingbird cake, had a fight with a Bundt pan, but yet I persevered!

Any birders out there can tell me what kind of feathers are these? I found them in two different parts of my backyard in NC, if that helps.

Dr Martin was my PhD advisor at USF. He and his wife, Mrs. Barbara B. Martin created a lab environment so safe, nurturing, and professional, that it allowed graduate students from all backgrounds to thrive. They changed my life and I owe them a debt that can only be paid by helping others.

Some of you might remember Sake. He went over the rainbow bridge today, and my heart is so sad without him. He was simply the bestest boy.
