Productive afternoon at the pottery studio: future sugar bowl and mug, assuming I don’t mess them up.

Fun surprise this morning to find this cool-looking paper on stink bugs in my Google Scholar profile. I wonder if Emily B. Myers, biologist at Valdosta State, would be interested in collaborating.

This is getting out of hand. I walk into my office this morning to find that SOMEONE* has BROKEN IN and left a DELICIOUS SOURDOUGH LOAF WITH A TINY HEART ON IT on my desk.
I will be opening a thorough investigation into this matter.

Stop by my office for a handful of cake any time today!
