Today is June 14th and Emily Graslie’s birthday!
Who? Emily Graslie, a very nerdy, fairly charming, occasionally comical and perpetually easy-going gal; a big kid with long blonde-ish hair, blue eyes masked by big eyeglasses and an odd need to wear big dangling jewelry in some of the most rough outdoor places; a Gemini Earth Snake, essentially a desert dust tornado, who hosts the PBS show called Prehistoric Road Trip (among other projects).
I don’t know much about her, yet. But, she seems to be more of a paleontology/archaeology/geology enthusiast than an expert; she just likes talking with people about scientific matters and has an aura about her which screams, “She and Writingbolt would make great travel buddies!” She makes me unafraid of being completely at ease with myself. I may be wrong, but I feel like I could burp, fart or even pick my nose around her, and she’d just take it in stride. She reminds me of Laura Dern’s character from Jurassic Park, who was at ease digging through dinosaur poop. [Yet, underneath that goofy, smiling, earthy façade are some sensitive waters which could get a lil moody and leave victims in pain from her snake bite.]
That about sums it up. I only had to watch a few episodes (of Prehistoric Road Trip) to feel sufficiently comfortable in her company. And, as the comforting feeling grew, along with a remote attraction, I felt compelled to create this birthday post.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EMILY!
You subtle charmer, you. Drop a letter in my mailbox, please. I wish to speak with you…and then some.
