We've been at the new ranch here in Escondido since Christmas. The corrals are in and filled up with ten horses. The feeding and cleaning routines are pretty well set, but some additional horse care help is always appreciated.

The outdoor projects I want done, but have no time to do, include: planting a herb garden; building or finding a bat house and an owl house (I've got leads where to do this); putting in a row of humming bird feeders; finding art for the front yard; consulting for fence selection around the pool; designing and building a hawaiian palmeria garden around the pool; and endless amounts of other design and yard care projects for this three acre property.

Some indoor projects I want done, but have no time to do, include: arranging pictures, finishing kitchen organization, unpacking and general domestic clean up.

In case you're more inclined along the lines of executive secretary, I also need someone to organize and file piles of documents and records. There are other projects with my ongoing law practice and photography for which I require assistance.

Compensation depends upon qualifications. Please reply with some details of your interest and experience.

Email responses only please. I often work out of town without net access. I will reply at my first opportunity. Thank you for your interest.

This year was my first Burning Man experience out on the playa. Now I’ve attended the last couple of Xaras, some other local burn events, been to countess pagan festivals and been involved in some large scale productions. But holy shit the creation of a city in a week is astonishing.

More than anything I was impressed by the creativity of this community that refuses to stay in the confines of a mundane city and instead travels out to this far away place to build a new center, new values and new culture. One night as I stood out in the middle of the playa looking around at the vast array of shining lights, I was filled with hope as I took in the power of all of you who still believe in magic, in sharing, and radical free expression.

So I’m writing to say thank you for making me feel at home. I put together some pictures and I hope you enjoy them.
