Let me begin by saying that I am a Luddite.\u00a0 I am not the first among my family or peers to embrace new technologies.\u00a0 I was deeply suspicious of computers, even while my brother carried around stacks of punch cards in high school.\u00a0 I am nostalgic for analog cell phones, laying \u00a0quietly in a bag in the car, unable to play music, \u00a0but able to beam a call from way up the Santiam canyon, or pick one up anywhere along Hwy 99 in Polk County!\u00a0 I could probably have direct dialed the Space Station.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

My cell phone is dumb.\u00a0 I don\u2019t tweet on Twitter, and I know where all my friends live.<\/p>\n

But even a reluctant old dog can learn new tricks.\u00a0 So when \u00a0Amy and I were talking about finding\u00a0 ways to work together more, she suggested I contribute to the blog.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0So I signed up for a test drive.<\/p>\n

Expect to see articles from me from time to time.\u00a0 I\u2019ll cover a range of topics as well as touching on a couple recurring themes,\u00a0 like \u201cGrowing a New Forest\u201d.\u00a0 I hope to bring you wisdom from some experienced woodland owners and foresters in our area, while covering some of the new science or past discoveries that are the underpinnings of forest management.<\/p>\n

But I just thought I ought to set the record straight now.\u00a0 I am bound to leave the blinker on (or at least the blog-equivalent), \u00a0so when it happens, \u00a0you\u2019ll know who is at the wheel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
