Finally had to replace my Work!Mug after more than 12 years. Tragedy. I got this gorgeous new one though! From SonomaCoastCeramics on Etsy. :)

Coworker just gifted me a big lump of coal he found in a sample. I am super geeked! It's nothing we find in West Mich often. Small bits maybe but not this thick.
just a 4 in lump of black coal with a green inkpen for scale.

Because it is daring to snow today and I'm sulking about it, I brought Spring inside.

In honor of World Wildlife Day 2025, have an old photo I shot in Olympic National Park in 2012. Keep fighting for our National Parks!
A pair of wild elk in the temperate rainforest of Olympic National Park, Washington, USA. One is lounging in the foreground looking away, and another is standing behind him.

Spent the morning writing a playbill bio and editing an actor headshot for MY SNAKE. What even is my life. lol
Snek (The Snake): Snek is an uncreatively named amelanistic corn snake who was rescued in 2016. This is his theatrical debut. His hobbies include hiding under his log and burrowing in his bedding. He would like to thank The-Very-Large-Food-Bringer for this opportunity to make new friends, and a shout out to The-Furry-Thing-Who-Also-Likes-My-Heatlamp
