A Special Blend

Musings of a young, artistic homeowner.

My Photo
Name:
Location: Baltimore, Maryland, United States

I thought about a PhD in Literature, French or Latin. Almost enrolled in Georgetown's MBA program. Toyed with the idea of studying graphic design. But instead I've been working on a home grown MBA and self-tutored digital illustration. I absolutely love my job in the coffee/service industry, and could hardly ask for a happier life, here fixing up my house, fiddling on my computer, smiling at my customers...Life is good. (Next stop: small business of my own?)

Gualala, CA

Mark and I got to visit his family in Gualala this past week.
We went on an absolutely beautiful kayaking trip one day, but I didn't bring my camera for fear of water damage. :(

Here are some pics of all the rest.

(if you look closely at this next picture, in the bottom lefthand corner--at the base of the big rock--you'll see three river otters. they were running from the ocean to the little river/stream outlet on the other side of the beach.)

Friends

Tomorrow is my last day at work.

These are some of my friends that I am really going to miss:














































and, even though we've been missing you already, Mandy...

Oh My Goodness!

My camera wasn't working very well, and I finally just got it fixed.
I found these pictures that turned out way clearer than I had expected:

This, again, is the evil bug that terrorizes me in my room:





























EEEEeeeeek! (they are definitely out to get me!)
