Checking in, from Massachusetts
Hello. I'm an elementary school teacher, living in rural western Mass with my wife of 23 years and two boys (17 and 11). We have a kitten, who can't go outside because she'd be eaten by the wildlife, or just badly beaten by red squirrels. I like to cook, take pictures of plants and bugs, go fishing ... I've been working this summer as a State Forest Interpreter, and now I'm thinking about back-to-school.
I've been working on a cookbook project for a long time, and not making much headway lately. I hope to renew my inspiration by visiting here from time to time.

Hi Geoff and welcome, this is a great place to get inspiration. And I understand on the kitten, we've got everything from mink to coyote on our farm.

In the past, I've worked around the Boston area ... Natick, Newton Upper Falls ... even (gasp) the Chelsea waterfront! I haven't been back into Beantown since the Big Dig was "completed", though.

It's a nature interpreter position ... resident naturalist. I plan and implement interpretive programming for park visitors centered around the natural and cultural themes of the State Forest. I do nature hikes, fishing clinics, and stuff like that. We have a 19th century cemetery too, so I do a Tombstone Talk that focuses on local history and early land use. Originally Posted by ubumartin

edited to add: I'm originally from SE Mass ... Brockton area.Last edited by Geoff; 08-13-2007 at 06:49 PM. Reason: additional information
