Footing

Goody’s wake was held last night at the house he shared with jgrizz and weebax. I experienced unforeseen strangeness upon entering his room with clothing and possessions laid out, hearing stories they elicited, even my own small story

Glad to have you as an LJ friend. Nice to see you again yesterday and this morning. HUGS!

[vaneramos]

Yeah, it was great connecting with you. I noticed on your info page that we share some intriguing outdoor interests.

[rticboy]

Yes, we definitely do! So, what is your interest in things ecological and sustainable? It's a huge interest of mine, and the subject of my thesis research.

LJ finally delivered your comment!

For my undergrad I majored in wildlife biology and minored in ecology, and one of my summer jobs during university was in ecological research. But I have been a nature geek all my life. I maintained an online nature column for several years but have taken a break from that. I tend to make a lot of ecological references in my creative writing.

I'm not an authority on sustainability. But to put it simply, I believe we need to conisder how to live sustainably on this planet, otherwise quality of life is going to deteriorate for future generations, and may even do so in our lifetime.

It's amazing sometimes how slow technology is, don't you think

We did a little camping when I was little, but the family cottage has come to be my piece of paradise close to wilderness. I've done some more adventuresome camping with my daughters, in fact those have been some of the most memorable experiences of the past few years. Marian and I did an overnight canoe trip with portages two summers ago, and I'm due to take Brenna on a similar adventure in 2006.
