Semi-retired in Tulsa, OK. I’ve been a mathematician, a geologist, a computer geek, a teacher, a caregiver, an artist and I still manage a little website business at www.zenlady.com. Currently enjoy volunteering at Tulsa Zoo and taking photos of nature and critters of all sorts.

I had a feeling this was going to happen. Sad news, especially given the poor state of sea ice after this winter.
