Librarian, runner, baseball and hockey fan, art dabbler, and counter of things. I read a lot. I try to think more than I speak. He/him.
Played with charcoal all weekend.
Family reunion time. Best reason to not have a Facebook account.
Ready for your Monday meetings?
Working on the book scanner I made with a co-worker a few years ago to get more issues of early alumni news letters online.
Not as fun as the work in conservation, but nice to change gears occasionally.
I got mail!
Really lovely, @WelshPixie ! Thanks!
I hope we all spend time photoshopping our faces onto famous socialists so I don't have to feel weird about this.
JDeBs!

Really enjoying staring at this block of Clara text from this article: https://creators.vice.com/en_us/article/speculatype-australian-type-alphabet-from-the-year-3000
It reminds me of the character in If on a Winter's Night that is trying to unlearn his literacy in order to engage with the world more viscerally. I cannot turn off the part of my brain that wants to decipher so that I can just experience.
I was reminded of this when @Gogogadgetpants was talking about writing in margins the other day. (I totally support this practice if it's not a library book!)
This came into the conservation lab years ago and I love having it around as an example of how books are treated (occasionally).
