Last April we were on a Glass Trip to Pittsburgh. During the trip we bought a lampwork glass piece that evoked an early, now extinct, jellyfish. Last week while I was organizing our taxes I found a credit card charge for Radiolaria, Carpocanium Irregulare. It took me a few steps to figure out what it was and that it was a legitimate charge. I hadn’t been ripped off by a Latin speaking internet scammer.

I need to get more regular at reviewing my credit card charges. What is needed is a way to note that a charge has been reviewed. And I need the habit to review charges when they appear and are fresh in what little mind I have left.

The piece was created by Lisa Demagall a glass artist in Pittsburgh.
