Random Quote
Most people never look up. They go about their busy little lives wrapped up in their busy little concerns here on the ground like ants in an anthill. Amateur astronomers—and nature people in general—are people who sometimes stop to look up, and to take the time to find out about what they see.

I Have the Power

SITY: Knock, Knock
Knock, knock! Who’s there? Inchworm! Inchworm who? Inchya glad I’m not a spider? Yeah, I’m glad you’re not a spider. I’m sick of spiders. They’re everywhere lately, even on my flowers! And they don’t knock before they come in.

I Tried
Yes, I felt exactly last night as I had predicted—tired and disappointed. I tried to remind myself that life is cake, but it turns out that life is actually beer and pizza!
Piece of Cake
I’ve been having the hardest time forcing myself to write. It seems like such a difficult task and there are so many distractions. But I hate to see my blog languishing, so I am writing this small thing, whatever it … Continue reading
