Just a note to say I hope you're doing well. How's the writing going? I'm trying to put together my first presentation - giving it next weekend at a conference. I'm really nervous - how do you give a presentation on something you haven't fully researched yet?! I know I'll do fine, but it's still scary.
Is your yard dry enough to plant yet? I need to make a major investment to finish fixing up mine. Luckily I just got paid for the house - spend it on landscaping? Hmmm.... I also joined a community farm and went out to clear my plot. It's going to take a lot of work, so I'm just planting chilis for the summer, along with green manure, and then will put in a winter crop and double-dig the plot in proper fashion.
