Loooooooooooook!

I'm in print! The article was received so well that they have asked me to contribute every month! Hooray!

The farm is coming along wonderfully. Amy and Mike visited and helped us perfect the chicken coop. We painted, added a window for circualtion and light for the hens...and our new COCK. We managed to come up with some pretty thoughtful cock jokes while getting on a nice buzz, listening to Mike's extraordinary acoustics and watching the clouds roll over while we laid in the grass. A perfect weekend.



Also, have you heard of Download Helper? If you want to download your fav hits for free, add it to your Mozilla toolbar and ou can save songs as MP3 files. If you need a tutorial, they have them on YouTube...or just shoot me an email. Much Love!

A couple favs

Flowers for me...

I remember this fondly and can see myself standing at my desk...feeling so comfortable in that book...so innocent and so young. I was grown up in some way in 8th grade...You inspired me Michael...Grazie Tanto!

MT "I was recently talking to one of my students about how the most unfortunate act of having to read the last page of Flowers for Algernon aloud in Mr. Lu's class fell upon you, and how, even through wave after agonizing wave of sniffs and blubbers, you were a total champion and made it through.

On a separate note, duder, you've got to post more on this thing. The people miss you. ♥"

TR "Oh my God....I had forgotten about that. I am so lucky we were in class together. I miss you Mike. Are you writing anywhere that I should know about? Are your students reading Algernon? I can not believe how easily I let my guard down with that book. It was that class. We were together all the time so I guess it was ok. What a time in our lives, right? The extremes...laughing uncontrollably one minute and being so hurt and vulnerable the next...we had such fun"

Getting Published...IN PRINT

My work is being published in the May edition of Maximum Yield Magazine! Such a treat. They asked me to write up my bio to be printed alongside the article so I made it sounds as prestigious as possible.

Theresa Ryan, Director of Operations for AIBC International’s LED Grow Lights Division, recently moved to central NY to explore opportunities in green technology. With a background in nutraceutical marketing and editorial for an international music publisher, Theresa changed career paths after working on organic farms across Europe and The United States to supprt her belief in worldwide sustainability efforts.

Jazzy! A step in the right direction...

Next, I will publish the greatest Love Song of all time...inspired by Mr. Cave.

"Though the love song comes in many guises – songs of exultation and praise, songs of rage and of despair, erotic songs, songs of abandonment and loss – they all address God, for it is the haunted premises of longing that the true love song inhabits. It is a howl in the void, for Love and for comfort and it lives on the lips of the child crying for his mother. It is the song of the lover in need of her loved one, the raving of the lunatic supplicant petitioning his God. It is the cry of one chained to the earth, to the ordinary and to the mundane, craving flight; a flight into inspiration and imagination and divinity. The love song is the sound of our endeavours to become God-like, to rise up and above the earthbound and the mediocre."
