Banana Pancakes!

Noooooo. . . there is a delay in the audio! Sorry guys, I've tried everything

Hellgrammite

Talk about having a bad day - let one of these guys get ahold of you. . .

What I do -



I sort water samples like this 



Into Viles like this

And Sediment Samples!

 As crazy as it looks, It is actually quite fun. Plus i work with some truely amazing people everyday. (just don't let them know that:)

Mini Guitar!

Yes. This is a little kids guitar; but I must say it will be an absolute life-saver for long road trips and general boredom. I can take it absolutely anywhere!

Check out the new site!

I have been recently added to the Aquatic Resources website! The picture is actually pretty funny regardless of what Ms. Cowart says. :)

Upset for the Big Blue Nation. . .

The title says it all. We can't really complain that much however. (even though a couple of missed free throws was a major deciding factor) Our boys' still performed very well this season. Much better than I would have guessed in the beginning of the season. Another positive is that we should have a few of our stars returning next year. Hopefully.

Now that the Cat's are out, I'm hoping Butler goes all the way! Get'em Shelvin!!!!

Final Four!

For a true U.K. fan, (those of us that actually bleed blue) seeing our boys go back to the Final Four is like the return of Jesus. Thanks to Coach Cal, once again the Cats are a force to be reckoned with. We have had a few long years since 98' when Tubby ran over Utah in the Championship game. My initial insticts tell me the championship game will be U.K. vs Butler. 76-67 Cats win it all. We'll have to wait and see. :)

Also a shout out to Shelvin Mack! Nice to see a fellow Bryan Station graduate make it big!! Enough about Butler though.

GO CATS!!!  

Yet Another Cold, Rainy Day. . .

I think I am with the rest of the greater Lexington population in wishing all of the rain, sleet, and snow would just go away. No permanently, but I must admit a bit of a break would be nice. I can see myself now. . . kicked back under a tree, pole in the water, nothing on my mind but the gentle breeze rolling over the hills. Instead, I step out the door at 7 a.m., only to feel the sting of thousands of tiny particles of ice ricocheting off my face! I know the weather is hectic in the good ol' Bluegrass, but enough is enough.

Another day at the office. . .

They say if you do something you love, you will never work a day in your life. I can honestly say that this statement is true. Even though I am setting here with all of the engineers, biologists and ecologists, I feel like I am right at home- Most of them have taken me under their wings, teaching me day by day about the field. I would gladly work here for free. Getting paid for what I want to do is the experience of a lifetime.
