I love to travel. I’m a great cook. Work in a “glamour profession” — high school teacher. We can always talk about Star Trek and/or cats.

Found a new Japanese market in Astoria! Got some matcha Kit-Kats. Next time, I’ll check out the sushi. (Full disclosure: I would have tried the sushi today if I had not had a long subway ride ahead of me. Insulated bag next time!)

Did someone say it was Ginger Cat Appreciation Day? I appreciate my little girl Daisy every day, not just today.

This was me, about a month ago, in Japan. It was 90+ Fahrenheit (32+ C) every single day. Best trip of my life! Never ever been so hot! 10/10 Would do again!

I spent a week in Japan with 47 of my students & 7 great teachers. It was HOT, we were TIRED, but it was the BEST trip ever! Incredible memories!

After spending all morning napping on the bed, encouraging me to sleep late, Daisy has decided that the next activity would be looking at birds.

Got to hear Professor Brian Cox’s talk on Cosmology tonight. I had more than a few happy moments where I said to myself, “Hey - my Astro students learned that in my class!” Made me feel like I’m doing something right. 😊✨

Great time at the AMNH today with my Astronomy students! So glad they brought back “Passport to the Universe” as the space show in the planetarium dome. That was the show I took classes to se YEARS ago — narrated by the great Tom Hanks. It’s probably my favorite space show!

Sometimes I know how super lucky I am to teach Environmental Science. Took 2 classes outside to see the spring growth on our school grounds. Here’s a nest in one of our trees.
