Back from the Dead?

An update:

Sadly, pottery as a career did not work out. While I garnered many a positive comment on my pottery, I sold almost none. I gave it a try as a career and have moved on.

I spent last fall and winter teaching part time at Lane Community College and doing a little part time programming work for The Conservation Biology Institute. Career-wise I am aiming to do ecological modeling. Towards that end, I am in the midst of a master's degree in Biology at the University of Oregon. I've been lucky enough to be part of a modeling project looking at the ecological effects of climate, human effects, and fire in the Willamette Valley. I am concentrating on the fire modeling piece of that project. This fall (just about a month from now), I will be sitting in classes with a bunch of 18 to 22 year olds. The adventure continues...
