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.

For the #dailysketchchallenge finale, a two-fer with ink
I got fussy and didn't have time to finish today.
When I run without music or audiobooks, in my head I'm composing angry emails to senators and school boards, letters to the editor, societal diatribes. This is #exorcising and #exercising.

Doodling unwanted people - just scribbled around a bit before deciding if I wanted to develop them at all. I didn't.
Finally have the first gardenia of the year!
My new office mate is disturbingly judge-y.
When I grow up I will have no fear of tunnels.
