Thank you, Susan! Dec 5, 2008

Thanks for inviting everybody to enjoy and benefit from this article. Michele is a brilliant linguist and has a very good eye and ear which enables her to see emerging tendecies. ENRU translators and interpreters community has been lucky to have her amongst us.

links to goat farming ... Dec 5, 2008

Susan,

Thanks for sharing! About 3 weeks--no "kid"ding--I started researching goat farming!

http://www.roosterhillfarm.com/journal/archives/2006/09/20_truths_about.html

That sort of cooled my enthusiam, and now the kids that were being sold down the road are gone. Oh, well ... maybe next year!
