When I was Board Chairman of The Bay-Friendly Landscaping and Gardening Coalition, we were contacted by a representative of the Pesticide Applicators Professional Association (PAPA). She was interested in including information on Bay-Friendly Landscaping classes targeted to landscape professionals in the bi-annual seminars they put on to provide continuing education for licensed pesticide applicators. I presented the Bay-Friendly Landscape Maintenance Training and Certification Program the first time in February of 09. I was asked to participate again in May of 09 and agreed even though I’m no longer on the Coalition board.

I didn’t get any comments from the PAPA coordinator after the February presentation, but I did just recently get comments back from the May presentation. The coordinator had some computer problems so it took her a while to get the comments compiled and mailed out. I read through the comments and the second one listed for my presentation stated, “He’s a liberal, green, idiot.”

It’s good to see I’m getting my point across.

I used to work in high tech and became familiar with blogs back in 1994. I never thought I’d use one because what did I really have to say? Over the last 15 years blogs have changed. They don’t have to be soley an ego dump. This blog will be used to publish and present articles and news. I don’t know how often it will be updated, but hopefully the information will be useful.
