Scenes from the Week: Shark Tooth Hunting + Lithuanian Embassy

On Memorial Day, I went shark tooth hunting on Maryland’s Western Shore. The area surrounding Calvert Cliffs is fertile ground to find fossilized treasures—including shark teeth. It’s a popular past time here in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. And it’s a highly addictive activity. This was my haul after digging for 1-2 hours.

And my friend and colleague,

Carrie Sheffield

, participated in a salon with Lithuanian Ambassador to the U.S. Audra Plepyte last night. She discussed her memoir, MOTORHOME PROPHECIES (2024) and her mental health journey.
