So, before I took a weeklong sabbatical from the office to work on my captain's license, I get an e-mail out of the blue (the color of my email background page) from Simon Busch of the Financial Times. Of London.
It's sort of like ... The Wall Street Journal of Europe. Maybe bigger.
Simon writes a column for that paper called "Outside Space," and he'd been reading this blog and wanted to conduct a phone interview for an upcoming article on wildscaping.
Once we finally connected, I think Simon was a bit disappointed the most exotic wildlife we've seen yet was a couple of raccoons. I assured him we've heard coyotes and that a mountain lion is not completely out of the question.
I'm pretty sure he's the first journalist to tell me an article will appear "a fortnight Saturday." That's, um, "two weeks from Saturday" in Texan. This coming Saturday, in fact.
At any rate, it was fun to be on the interviewee end of the arrangement for once, not talking about dead babies or fish kills or boating accidents.
