Another Lifetime Ago

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been interested in the weather. Somewhere around junior high, I decided that I wanted to go to college for meteorology.

I remember a family trip to Kasota, MN (in southern MN) … Mom, Dad, sister, Grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I don’t remember exactly when this was, but it had to have been when I was in either 6th or 7th grade. We had a caravan headed  […]

I need your help

On August 14, I entered the land of the unemployed yet again. This damn economic situation has really thrown me for a loop. I lost my job in October 2008 due to budget cuts at the company (they sell truck accessories and such, and with truck sales down, their sales were down too). I worked as a contract web developer from December 2008 through March 2009 (it was a 3 month contract that got extended  […]
