About:
kestrel.diary [at] tutanota.com
Well, if you want an opinion, this is mine.
Former instructor and teacher at a "big city" non-profit, now a homesteader who has checked-out of typical civilized life. I have no regrets about that decision.
I wonder sometimes if anyone else enjoys reading this. In any case, make the most of your day. :)
