A few months ago a bee broke into the house and visited me while I was working. I was absolutely thrilled and took a bunch of photos. This week I made this drawing from one of the photos, and I feel pretty good about it.

So Bob isn’t quite 41 yet, but he is very close. In honor of his upcoming birthday, I took him on an overnight trip last weekend to Hammondsport, NY, to celebrate him. I was able to steal him away thanks to some amazing coordination from my neighbor Sara and my sister-in-law Jen. Jen even made…
