Celebrated my birthday yesterday with bumper boats and putt putt - of course repping the Blue Barracudas. Best of all, at my ripe wise age of 39 I have mastered eating all the indulgent fair snacks with no resulting tummy ache, which is the true meaning of aging gracefully

Flipping through the areas I've lived, it strikes me how different they'd be to live in 20 years ago. Small day-to-day shifts like what most of my clothes would look like, how much id seek out ac, how much I'd use the 2nd floor, how frequently id go for walks and runs. Lots of small shifts.

About every year, I have the realization that I made it through the depression of that winter and I try to take a picture to remember. On this day on in 2017, I felt joy at a Ska concert and couldn't believe it. Here is my *ahem* intense expression of triump and relief

My favorite quilt I've made to date!! It is The Hat - an aperiodic monotile discovered in 2023! I loved planning the pattern for this and figuring out how to make it feel pleasingly cartoony! #quiltcon

Isaac Newton suggested that the earth has a layered internal structure in 1700.
The theory of plate tectonics wasnt accepted until the 1960s. We've dug holes 7.5 miles deep, which is about 30% through the average depth of the crust .1% from the core.

Oceanic plankton,on the other hand, account for over half of it!
[Don't worry, the Amazon is still amazing in all sorts of ways]
