A New Addition to My Owl Obsession

Bryn Mawr's mascot is the owl, a symbol of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. And I don't know any Mawrter who is not obsessed with owls. In fact, the post-doc fall term opening speech last year was entitled YOLO - You Obviously Love Owls; a twist on the term YOLO meaning You Only Live Once. Like many other Mawrters, I have an owl collection, that keeps growing. And on our way back from Bethesda, we stopped in the grocery store. A fall decorations display caught my eye, as I was drawn to this little wooden owl figurine. Isn't he cute? I simply could not leave him in the store, he had to come home with me, and he will look perfect on my window seat or on my desk in the fall.
