New blogger advocates for land, nature

As far back as I can remember, I have been an advocate – someone who speaks on behalf of others. Maybe it was growing up with an attorney for a father, but arguing the merits – or lack thereof – of various causes was just part of who I was. Whether it was convincing my parents to let a group of us kids take the “L” to the Cubs game without an adult, or rationalizing the adoption of yet another stray cat, I always seemed to have some cause.
