The latest issues of ErosionControl Magazine featured an interview that Carol Brzozowski did with me a year
and a half or so ago. I really had
forgotten about it and about a half year ago, I figured that the interview had
flopped, and it was all just hype and would never get published. I
added a copy of the article below (you will need to click on the article to get a larger version which might be easier to read). I’m pretty thrilled by it; the only thing I
would have liked to see is that it listed my current employee (the Department
of Environmental Quality or DEQ). I am
having a lot of fun here, and moreover, I have a set of great colleagues and
co-instructors here that really do not get mentioned in the article. In a way it is a bit of a shame I did not get
to see the article before it got published otherwise I would have asked to add
those things. Oh well. You always hear that from people who get
interviewed.
Anyway it is a nice closure
to a fairly stressful few months with a lot of work, travel, some health
issues, and even some mechanical issues at home like the kitchen sink and a lawn mower breaking. Hopefully, that light at the end of the
tunnel isn't a train barreling towards me.
Regular readers of my blog, my students and my friends know I have a passion for the environment, teaching, fairness, and social justice. I am really hoping that this article did some justice (pardon the pun) to some of these beliefs and that I will be able to continue to do this work for a long time. I have a wealth of life experience to share with people, and I really feel it would be a waste if I don't. In the end I hope to leave one very small corner of this world a little better than I found it, or maybe better, when it found me. Wouldn't that be nice!
