This post is overdue by a couple weeks, but now seems as good a time as any to note that I finally escaped my nearly six month stint of unemployment. The Trustees of the Reservations, a group I've been volunteering with, hired me as a seasonal ranger at Bartholomew's Cobble. It's not a bad gig--thus far I've been working in the visitors' center, pulling garlic mustard, mending fences, and helping with canoe trips. I also live on the grounds of one of the Trustees' historic houses, Naumkeag (pictured), during the work week (I commute back to north county on the weekends).

More information on all of these things to come, probably-maybe. But for now, that's a new thing in the general landscape of my life. It keeps me busy.
