Wildlife Ecology & Conservation in a New Media world order
I'm not a typically negative person. I think I'm quite optimistic, with a dose of realism thrown in just to motivate me. But then there is the principle of Murphy's Law that I find utterly baffling. It states that if anything can go wrong, it will. Statistically speaking, it really shouldn't happen that way. Have... Continue Reading →
Along the lines of the weird shit compilations, I seem to come into ear shot of the oddest conversations. It just leaves you wondering just what the hell they had been talking about in the first place. When hubs and I started dating, he didn't believe me when I said that I seem to be...

Were you a sci fi or fantasy fan? I sure was (and still am). Whether it be the Chronicles of Narnia, Doctor Who, Star Trek, or Twilight Zone - you've heard of some idea of a multiverse. Personally, I tend more to the Red Dwarf, Futurama, Lost and Buffy the Vampire Slayer type of multiverses,... Continue Reading →
We found a dead Northern Alligator Lizard in our back yard. Rather, one of my daughters found the lizard. The live specimen, which is quite majestic, can be found basking in the sun on rock walls and cement pads. But we have neither so we were completely oblivious to their very existence in our area. Until... Continue Reading →
Today was a particularly bad morning at our house. My daughter with ADD is very distractible, and this morning she couldn't keep it together for any task. When I said "please get dressed for the day," she heard "roll around naked on your bedroom floor smacking your bum cheeks like bongos." It took her 35... Continue Reading →
Our cats are members of our family. They're not merely pets, we value them for the wonderful little people that they are. They understand everything we ever say to them, but us dumb primates never hear anything more than "meow meow meow." So we have a special voice for each of them that we use to hold...

My kids both had a Christmas Concert at their elementary school last week. It wasn't called a Christmas Concert, it was called Winter Concert, but it's not like they busted out the Kwanza Rap or a grade school version of the Hanukkah Song. Each class sung some cute song about Christmas, but not any actual... Continue Reading →
I am a pretty green person. I might even fall into the category of being a "crunchy" mom. I make hand soap and laundry soap, I hang our laundry to dry, we buy organic, I keep a garden that gives us much of our veggies, I keep backyard hens, and I drive a Prius. Yes... Continue Reading →
I'm a huge fan of Albert Einstein. So much so, that when my friends had band posters up on their walls in High School, I had this up on my wall instead. Sadly, I wasn't particularly gifted at physics but I made a valiant effort to read a few of his manuscripts. I didn't "get" what... Continue Reading →
I've come to the conclusion that daylight savings time was invented by the devil. Okay, so really it was entomologist George V. Hudson who came up with the idea as we know it. It's supposed to save energy consumption, promote outdoor leisure activity in the evening (in the summer), and reduce traffic accidents (when we "fall back" we... Continue Reading →
