At Long Last!

I've finally done it--I've quit writing for the London Free Press. It's been a good seven years, even with the lack of any raise and being buried on the back page of Viewpoint, beneath old ladies writing letters trying to find old bars of Sunlight soap. Starting Monday, I become the lead columnist for Cryptozoic Gardener, a glossy magazine out of Duluth, Minnesota.

Cryptozoic Gardener made me an offer I couldn't refuse: a chance to write for what may be the biggest home orientated magazine since Home And Garden. The twist--heh heh--of this magazine is that it focuses on people who want to incorporate fossils into their gardens, and by extension, their own lives. Part of my job will be to visit said people and conduct short interviews. I'm being teamed with a photographer--Aimee LaChance-- who apparently was the head photographer for the last Flock of Seagulls reunion tour. The Gardener has provided us with a minivan, credit vouchers, and a very, VERY generous expense account.

So goodbye London. Look to someone else to write your geek orientated column. I'm off with Aimee to look at T-Rex bones beside begonias.
