It’s TGIF ladies and gentlemen,
It’s also my last day at my current job.
Between the new job, surviving the deadly storms of last night, and just maybe a little something new to blog about, inspired by several storm-chasers and other NOAA Spotters I have networked with via Twitter, this is a good thing. A New dawn so to speak.
Lets celebrate shall we?

New Job, new stuff at home. March was a red letter month for me, so I want to sound off with something good for the day
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

And some Dropkick Murphy’s to get the day started jammy
“The immigrant’s heart marches to the beat of two quite different drums, one from the old homeland and the other from the new.
