I am, I suppose, catagorized as a "senior citizen."  I "retired" from a northern California college town to a farming town of about 800 people in the panhandle of Nebraska.  Rather I fled from CA to escape the traffic, crowds and pretension and am content in this rural setting under a big sky.

I teach psychology at a local community college, participate in a Habitat for Humanity project in our town, and belong to the garden club, the writers club and volunteer to read farmer's applications for organic certification to the regional OCIA organization. 

I bought a 95 year old home on an acre of land and have transformed a weed lot into an organic vegetable, fruit and flower garden.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to construct a greenhouse.

Hope is a prayer for the future.  I am interested in alternative energy, ecovillages, sustainable architecture, organic farming and gardening, and mostly how to inspire the young to recognize the importance of educating themselves in these areas.
