Letter from the editor February 2010
Welcome to Another Day in Paradise! It’s February and the season is in full swing. The streets are bustling and dotted with visitors escaping from the cold cold north.

Welcome to Another Day in Paradise. You will find no gloom nor doom here.

Welcome to Another Day in Paradise. They say we are living in exponential times and that’s true in ecology as well as technology, in the natural world as well as in the virtual world.

Welcome to Another Day in Paradise. Around here, we tend to shamelessly gush, exude, ooze optimism and positivity about our little piece of paradise. We go on and on, and really it’s not all pep talks and daily affirmations a la Stuart Smalley: I am smart enough, I am good enough, and gosh darn...
