Green Girl says 'Goodbye'
Takes break to clear brain and give birth
While this is a farewell column, it’s not forever. I’m
sorry to be the bearer of such sad news, but the rumors you’ve heard are all
true. . .The Green Girl is going on a temporary sabbatical of sorts.
Not only do I feel like my brain could use a break from
coming up with creative column topics week after week since July 2000, I
also am expecting my firstborn little "Deere" to arrive any day now!
So it seems logical that I start slowing down some
work-wise when I can. And my weekly contribution to the Field Reporter as
the Monday columnist is a smart place to start.
That makes this the final column for a while. I can’t say
exactly how long I’ll stay away. It may be until the New Year 2003 but I
might miss it too much before then and start back up sooner.
In the meantime, I encourage you to reread the extensive
archives of two-plus years worth of past columns here at the Field Reporter
website, which will stay active for a while yet. Eventually, you’ll be able
to find all Green Girl columns archived on the
Bleeding Green website.
And if I’m feeling overly ambitious, I’ll also start up
the "Eye on Ebay" weekly column I’ve been talking about for years now. So
stay tuned to The Green Girl through the Bleeding Green website. And feel
free to email every so often just to ask what’s new or to tell me
about something interesting you found. I’m always able to listen and respond
to requests, although it probably won’t be as promptly as it was in the
past!
By the way, you can still find my world-famous and
ever-popular JOHN DEERE COLLECTIBLES book at local and on-line bookstores,
including at the John Deere Store in Moline. If you want an autographed
special edition collector’s copy, there are still a few first edition ones
left. They’d make a great green gift for your favorite Deere fan come
Christmas. To reserve your copy of this highly valued book of memorabilia,
contact me by email or place an order through the Bleeding Green website.
Keep bleeding green!
