Dazed and inspired

[urbpan]

I just read this article which is incredibly inspiring and makes me want to not post the next two things I'm going to post because they don't fit into my plan of long-term success.

OR DO THEY?

I'm not really sure any more. I want to be productive and creative and true to myself, but I also want to enjoy my yard, take weekends off, and drink heavily occasionally. Do I have the energy for it all.

No probably not.

I should take Alexis' advice and just plan the Urban Nature Walks I want to do and put them on the calendar and stick to them. I'm worried that my nature walk-leading ability is getting very rusty, and that not only am I not learning new things, but I may be forgetting things I used to know.

My dream of being the foremost national expert on zoo pest control is hampered by the fact that no one really wants to think about that subject, even people who really really should. People want magic solutions when the real answer is to build things properly the first time.

I may be listening to WTFpod too much.

Or maybe it's just the winter (such as it is).

Well that went nowhere, thanks for coming with me! Read Jesse Thorn's article: http://transom.org/?p=24153

I am waiting for my brain to wake up enough (head cold, day 3) to make sense of that article that I really really really will read. And maybe even comment on.

I'm keeping it on my desktop to reread later, when I feel myself succumbing to laziness.
