I am amazed that the little kid who just wanted to fish and collect insects has cleaned butcher shops, built wheel lines for irrigation, built houses, graduated from college with a degree in wildlife biology, taught science and art, witnessed a coup in Paraguay, hitchhiked in southern Africa, walked across Spain, watched Himalayan Wrinkled Lipped Bats in Thailand, seen "Mona Lisa" and a saddle billed stork, gets excited about growing a good garden, is delighted that people like something he created enough to buy it, and lucky enough to do most of this with a wonderful wife and son.
