"Are you ready for the country?"

"Because it's time to go!" -Neil Young

Honey pack up the shit-kickers and the hound. We're moving to the farm!

Congratulations are due to team member Joe Jones, or as he is now known at the University of South Carolina, the new Director of the Environmental Genomics Facility! Joe was offered the job after the hiring committee interviewed 19 other applicants and could not find anyone who could hold a candle to Joe's vast experience, dedicated work ethic, outstanding moral fiber, and love of the mighty gamecock. Now that is something worthy of celebration! Joe's start date is October 15th, so we'll be making the long drive east in early October. (For your viewing pleasure: this is the smaller of the two barns on the farm. I shot it on our last visit in May.)

ok.... really,....

now that amanda is stuck at work tonight, i can put a blog in! j/k :)
a picture (albeit old) of team jones....
and another (slightly older) picture for the fans...

This week the blog...Next week the world!

Now I too have the password! So, while I will occationaly be able to take over the blog, I really can't follow through on my threat to take over the world. What I can promise is a more balanced view of what is happening with Team Jones. First, let's talk dirt! I think it is fair to say that all members of Team Jones share equally in the digging duties. The pond has still not been dug. This weekend we were distracted with our first adventures in Geocaching (geocaching.com). Four caches were found so that leaves approximately 399,996 to go. Yet another way to procrastinate on painting the kitchen. Until next time. Cheers! AJ
