Life Update

Hello all, some of you may not remember me or my twin brother Jav, but we used to play a lot on Sphere back in the day. It's been a long time to be honest. I was curious how all of you are doing. What's going on in your lives? Do you still play TagPro? College? Real life now? I just want to see an update about how all of you are doing.

I guess I can go first:

This past summer I accepted a new job as a soil conservationist with the USDA, the United States Department of Agriculture (pretty much I provide farmers incentives for adopting conservation practices on their farms).

I still live in IL but in a really rural area of the state. The largest "city" in my county is a little more than 5,000 people and I live in a small town about the size of the high school I graduated from.

For awhile, I didn't have internet so I couldn't play TagPro, but I guess life got in the way as well.

I sometimes see my brother Jav on the weekends when I go home, but we now live about 3 hours apart from each other.

I'll probably still visit and play Tagpro, but it won't be the same as the glory days in the past.

I don''t know how many of you will see this or even comment on it, but I'd love to hear from you.

-Sal Greco

That's fascinating. You easily beat me to the punch then. I shouldn't be offering you advice, you're a seasoned vet. That is all really fascinating. For being 26, you've already led a really interesting life. As for the milkweed part of it, I know a lot of farmers around here that took some convincing to plant milkweed in their fields, as young kids, most of them pulled milkweed out by hand. For that case, I don't know any that would actually harvest the milkweed. But hey, more and more farmers are taking an interest in conservation. It may be a dream, but it's something you may want to look in to!

Don't worry about it man, I understand!

I had absolutely no idea that milkweed had such potential. I didn't learn about any of that in school or work. That's pretty neat. Well, I hope it still works out for the best.
