Finishing something?
I just noticed that I'm only 2 species away from finishing my 100 species project. I have #99 ready to go, and #100 is in my camera, which I left at work this weekend. I'm tentative about starting a new project for next year, partly because I like to take the winter off, and partly because I expect next year to be a very busy one.
Why is next year going to be busy? Several reasons: I plan to start keeping chickens and making beer, for two. Also, there will be a Presidential Election, and I anticipate being an anxious wreck, especially as the year wears on. I remember 2008 all too well, being anxious all the time that America would idiotically elect a Republican for president, as if the previous 8 years weren't enough reason not to. This coming year may be less stressful, in that they haven't managed to find anyone qualified for the office, and most of the people running would be hilarious if they weren't evil scumbags. However the country has had 4 years to forget what hell it was to live under a GOP administration, and many people have blamed Obama for not farting unicorns even though he accomplished more in foreign policy than any president since Nixon (without, you know, being a crook), and probably averted a second Great Depression. All the while the Republicans have steadfastly stood in the way of everything Obama tried to do EVEN WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY THEIR IDEA. Where was I? Oh yeah, I'll be preoccupied with the election next year.
Speaking of elections, I'll be running for President of NEAAZK this year (the Zookeeper Association at my Zoo) and so far it looks like I'll be unopposed. That's good, but it means that much of the year I'll be in a position of responsibility like I've never experienced before, planning events and making decisions and whatnot. This is the main reason I'm nervous about committing to a blog project.
Nonetheless, I have a pretty good idea of what that project will be called and what it will consist of. I don't expect to surprise you too much, but I will be putting out a reliable blog product (maybe fewer typos?).
Also I want to do more Urban Nature Walks.
