The best mistake of my life

So here it is -

For better or for worse, i have taken a new job. i thought it would be most prudent to wait till the worst possible moment economically to move from a relatively safe, yet depressing, public sector job to a much more enjoyable, yet way less secure private sector job. Yes, soon to be gone are the days of knowing that i had job security even when the government finally collapses. Hello days of a one year guarantee of joy in my work, but beyond that. . . well. . . only God can see that far!

After an almost impossible to refuse job offer from Bon Appetit i am officially an organic farmer. Or. . . as they would call me at the comm center: Dirty Hippie!

So my job for the next year (or so. . . God willing much longer) is to put together a farming project that will benefit the school's (St. Joseph's - the school that Bon Appetit has a contract with) cafeteria, the local community via food pantries, and the community by way of pulling people together to garden together.

The latter has been a passion of mine for several years. So if you get bored swing on by the project at the college, i am sure that we will be able to put you to work. . .

I am so excited! Welcome to the ranks of the uncertain! ;) (So, um, when my funding is up, can I pull weeds or something?)

See you in a couple days, friend!
