About
Author, editor, homesteader, collector–our friend Ben is all that and (of course) much more. When asked by the moderator at one of those corporate seminars what I’d be if I could be anything at all, the answer popped into my mind like Athena bursting fullgrown from the forehead of Zeus: I’d like to be the head of my own think tank. That’s because I love to think, about all sorts of things, all the time. And I love to learn, and to problem-solve, and to create great ideas that will save the world (or at least small ideas that are fun and ingenious). You’ll probably see a few of those here, along with rantings and ravings, and even some good advice. Happy reading!
By the way, I really look forward to the next incarnation of “The Bible”…my only problem is that I am running out of testaments…might have to switch to “The Good Book I, II, and III”.
BTW, I’d be happy to write a review and post…I can guest blog in a couple of places, too. Always trying to spread the “good word” you know…
Ha!!! Many thanks! I’ll let you know when it comes out.
Just surfed through after your comment to my recent article over at Tomato Casual and I have to say BRAVO! I can still remember in 1990 when I found my first issue of Backwoods Home Magazine before they used color or anything other than recycled newsprint, and it has been one of my mainstays ever since. I’m add you to my reading list!
Thanks, Michael! I’m honored! And Backwoods Home is always the first magazine I read–cover to cover!
Took me awhile to figure out who ourfriendben was–and finally got over here. Very clever you are. I just added you to my blogroll which makes you ..well, a member of my blogroll…
I love your style and am much amused.
Thanks, Anna!!!
