Home
I'm home. Home from the Yucatan a few months ago, home from Lechuguilla last month, and home from St. George Island in Florida. All the experiences have left delightful little thoughts and snippets of life lived - brilliant memories - all jumbled up and rolling around in my head. Hope to share a few bits here and there (very soon). I do have new photos up on flickr if you want a little preview...
Feels like I've been going going going for several months. And for once...oddly enough...its kinda nice to stop and watch the world pass by for a few days. I have done nothing of importance this weekend at all. And plan on doing nothing of importance for just one more.
Enjoy your Labor Day everyone!!

About Me
- Name: Brina Bat
- Location: United States
I am a TAG caver, artist, graphic designer, archaeologist, letterpress printer, Florida native, word crack addict, B&W photography ogler, picture taker, soundtrack listener, OCD recycler, tree hugger, creative writing dabbler, ticket collector, forest hiker, letter writer, garden planter, DragonCon go-er, lover of modern design and architecture, glass half full, not over till its over, the best is yet to come kinda person. MACs over PCs, tea over coffee (unless there's a lot of sugar & creamer involved), sweet over unsweet, silver over gold, Summer over Winter, and dogs over cats. Not to say that's all that defines me. That's the tip of my iceberg. Read on and take a peek at what's below the surface.

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But oh my friends and ah my foes
It gives a lovely light!
~Edna St. Vincent Millay
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WoooHoooo!! - What a Ride!"
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic. - Goethe
If your not prepared to be wrong you'll never come up with anything original. - Sir Ken Robinson
