OK! Here we gooooooooo........
That's me at a local 'hippie cafe' after a rather long and hard bike ride on a fine Sunday afternoon (needing a shave, I might add....).
Well, let's see. Maybe I'll go on a little bit more (don't know why this time should be any different than any other time...). 56 year old, live ~70 km west of Boston where I've been for ~10 years after moving here from way out in the boonies of rural Nevada. I do quite a lot of road bicycling and a fair bit of sea kayaking. Also play some pedal steel guitar, if you know what that is (it's that thing that looks like a big, giant, tabletop electric cheese slicer...).
Have always been drawn to the rocks, the trees, the hills, and have been making my living in some way related to that for some time. Used to map soils and landscapes, and then working in various earth science-related disciplines - research, teaching, industry - for some time now.
So - how could I not appreciate coticules???
Many thanks to Bart for putting this place together, for endless generosity, and for just generally being a good guy. Cheers!
