It’s been WAY too long since I’ve written a life update. I’ve been meaning to for a while, but every time I think about it I decide it’s not interesting enough. However, today I decided that’s stupid. I don’t really care if it’s boring. So here we go: an update on what I’m doing for work and how I’m doing with my depression.
The word “desert” tends to conjure different images for desert dwellers than it does for our friends from moister climes (points for me for using “moister climes” in a sentence!). You moisture lovers often think of the desert as nothing but sand, and refuse to believe there’s anything redeeming about Tucson’s nature. Though some deserts are admittedly nothing but sand, the vast majority aren’t. Tucson is actually pretty green most of the year, including winter. It gets even greener in the spring and during monsoon season (my second-favorite time of year here). On top of the green, we get all …
Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 13 of What’s in that Hole?, a fun series I’m writing for my blog. In the last episode, we returned to Tucson and looked at a cactus hole. This time, we stay in Tucson but look at a few holes on a much smaller scale.
Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 12 of What’s in that Hole?, a fun series I’m writing for my blog. In the last episode, we found something really exciting: an eel! That episode, as well as the two before it, focused on holes away from home. Today, we return home to Tucson’s Sonoran Desert for our hole.
Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 7 of What’s in that Hole?, a new series I’m writing for my blog. In the last episode, we had a visit from some cute furry friends – thumb-sized bats. If you’re upset that it’s been so long since the last post, I don’t blame you.

Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 5 of What’s in that Hole?, a new series I’m writing for my blog. Last time we had our first man-made hole in a special edition episode. Today we get back to our roots and look inside a hole made by a common Sonoran Desert critter.
Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 3 of What’s in that Hole?, a new series I’m writing for my blog. In the last episode, we were hoping for a cuddly critter but didn’t find one. We did find lots of babies though! But maybe this is our lucky day and we’ll find a cuddly friend! You’ll only know if you keep reading…

Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 1 of What’s in that Hole?, a new series I will be writing and posting on my blog. I’m sure that those of you who read the What’s in that Hole? preview are on the edge of your seats. But fret no more! Episode 1 has arrived.
Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 0 of What’s in that Hole?, a new series I will be writing for my blog. Before we get started with the main question, which is of course “what’s in that hole?,” I thought I’d write this preview to answer some of the other questions you might have.

Very kind, since I do indeed have quite the appetite for Nutella. There used to only be one version of this: the breadsticks version. But now there is a newcomer on the scene: pretzel sticks. Of course, I never bother eating any of the sticks anyway (Nutella is best served on a spoon) so this is not directly relevant to me. However, because I have such insatiable curiosity, as I was spooning the Nutella …
