ermahgerd! he quit!

i tendered my resignation from nps today, effective sept 30 --- i've wretched over this decision for several months now, having been purty much over the job for longer than that --- i feel very very lucky to have worked there, but it is time to move on ---

i will continue to research, crawl around old buildings, and write --- just not necessarily for nps.

although i feel really lucky to have worked there, now, having made the decision to leave, i feel like a pall has lifted from my life ---
