The Future of The World Is Nuts!(TM)

The info @ badgersett email service will be significantly slower than usual until mid- to late June, both due to the season and to worker (my) availability. Philip and Meg are both being kept more than completely occupied with the spring planting, both in the greenhouse and in the field. I am buckling down here in Cleveland to get my M.S. project finished up and out of the way, in order to set the stage for finishing my Ph.D. within a year from now. Yes, I know it's silly to be working on both at the same time (and have them be different projects). The circumstances that led to it being that way are silly too; I'll tell you about it if you're interested.
Anyway, I might as well take this opportunity to point out that yes, really, I'm going to be going full-time with Badgersett next June/July, when I finish up my life as a biorobotics engineer here in Cleveland. Though I know from experience that "full-time" is kind of a silly term to use when a farm is involved. "100% effort" is probably more reasonable.
Whatever you call it, I'm looking forward to tackling my real life's work. For those of you who haven't found it, and are interested, I did write a little treatise on why it is that I'll be doing this; you can find a link to it on the personnel page.
In short what I think this means for the company and what we offer, though, is that although our responsiveness will remain slow for about another year, both that and the company in general will be picking up seriously at that time. Of course, with sufficient capital investment it would be possible for us to pick up before then, but in our current severely undercapitalized state, limping along until then is more or less the way it goes. I have to say, our customers tend to understand this and put up with it pretty well. Thanks, guys.
