A well-respected man about town

Armed with a cardigan, a lanyard ID, sensible shoes, and a perfunctory knowledge of the DC metro, I have entered the (unpaid) workforce! I have a job that doesn't involve drinking terrible beer, spandex or chasing bears! Currently my job description is broadly to save the world but essentially to poke a model of Andean hydrology and watch it refuse to do as I say and read articles about other models that may cooperate more. My new favourite socioculturally appropriate acronym is FIESTA: Fog Interception for the Elevation of Streamflow in Tropical Areas. Meanwhile Gary and I bike the many socially responsible bike paths and marvel at the ingenuity of suburban planning. In a little over a week I will be in Prague and setting off on another epic failure/adventure (cross out which doesn't belong).


The Rio Magdalena has a beguiling watershed.
