TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I live in the woods of Vermont (only full-time residents on a dead-end
dirt road). I get my exercise walking my dogs (they don't need leashes
so they do almost all of the walking) several times a day. In the late
afternoons, I usually get out the weed whacker and/or chainsaw and go to
town on the 20 acres of forest we have for an hour or so. We try to heat
by wood and while I buy several cords every year, I also cut, haul, and
split a few myself. it's darned good exercise. And for relaxation, we
have three gardens (formal perennial garden, 8-bed hillside perennial
garden), and 32x32 vegetable garden, and they always need tending.
