Being Bilbo

While lecturing in Phoenix I met Randy Post, editor-in-chief of the GeoPrac.net website. GeoPrac is a superb portal for geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists and our ilk, which is why I have provided a link to it on my site.

Randy liked my lecture so much that he drove home to Tucson from Phoenix that evening, mixed a Martini and wrote up a charming blog “There and back Again – Ed Medley“. The piece is flattering, funny and perceptive, likening me to Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings (which for youngsters in the Harry Potter epic of my generation).

Thank you Randy.

    This website is a melange, a mixture of career-related professionalia and personal content. It is a complex mixture, much like the chaotic rocks I enjoy working with.

    Yes, that is me. Looking for another Ed Medley? Let him/her know I am looking for him/her too - check out the "Are You Ed Medley?" page.
