To Blog.....

Perhaps because its my first solo field mission and I’m feeling the need to communicate with others beyond myself, my cottage and my car, perhaps because I’ve already caved with Facebook and my whole world has gone public, perhaps because I’ve been scanning other blogs daily with the pathetic eagerness of new posts. Whatever the reason, I’ve decided to try it at blogging. So here goes…. a place to check in with updates on my summer of fieldworking on the Oregon coast. I’ll use this as a venue to let you know what the heck I’m doing out there in the mud, counting blades of grass, as well as a means for me to try to figure it all out, and document the process of doing so. I promise a good dose of reading about my eelgrass encounters in Pacific Northwest estuaries, as well as some other fun fluff. So stay tuned, and feel free to correct my spelling and punctuation and to tell me how to change the colors – I do like green, and it is appropriate, but this may be a little too much.
