The Beginning...

So I have finally arrived - I am now an official member of the blogosphere.  It feels kind of strange - after all, a blog is essentially an online journal, accessible to the 6.8 billion people in this world.  It's a place where I can share my feelings, thoughts, and ideas about everything and anything.  

Look forward to blogs about the following topics:

• Interesting and wild weather events, as this is my passion and profession.
• Politics, particularly the 2008 Presidential Election.
• The world of graduate school, including its ups and downs.
• Some more personal events or issues.

Look for the the first installment coming up very soon.
