Don't get me wrong, I love my job. Who wouldn't? I walk around in a cave on nasty hot days, talk to cool people, and only officially work three days a week! It's great . . . really! The only problem is that when I am at work, my mind goes blank. Not really blank, I suppose, but blank in the sense that all of the space is taken up with the technical aspects of giving good cave tours. Timing, factual AND interesting information, attention to folks who perhaps should not be trying to walk two to four miles in the first place; this is what fills up my tiny brain cavity. Hence I am barely keeping this blog alive.
So, with all of this in mind, why oh why am I starting a NEW blog?
