I've had a terrific year! A lot of mixed emotion though, as 2010 sees the end of Open Fields as we know it and the end to my ownership of Mild to Wild(R). I've been informed that Open Fields will continue with or without me and/or the chiles, but that remains to be seen :-) I'm certainly not opposed & will help in anyway that I'm able, but I'm just not able that much! The 'evil corporate side' of me will also continue, but more than likely under new ownership. I cannot do justice to my current responsibilities with 'the other fire department' (and my marriage ;-) trying to both! Asking about 'evil corporations' was actually my very first post to this list almost 20 years ago! The first folks to reply were Rael, Carpo, Firegirl & even older now Doug, who was old even then :-D -Jim C http://www.StepUpforCharity.org
