The latest news is that I now have a blog about nature on the NW Herald's website:

http://www.nwherald.com/2012/10/02/new-blogger-advocates-for-land-nature/bm7taug/

It is called "Speaking of Nature," and the purpose is to raise awareness of how global and national environmental issues relate back to McHenry County. Folks who know me know that I am not short on opinions. And people who have known me the longest are well aware of my need to have some cause that I can fight for or rale against!

Now this blog feels like one of those paintings where the artist paints a picture of himself painting a picture of himself painting a picture of himself painting a picture of himself...

I promise, I'll try not to be so self-indulgent in the future!!
