First Day of (Grad) School

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:56:59 -0400

"Viewer Email of the Year" Nominee

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 11:52:44 -0400

A gentleman submitted the following question to the "Ask Greg" portion of the website this weekend. I've redacted his name for his own safety. (Wouldn't want anyone sending a legion of four-year-old "I'm-a-PC"s on him.)

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 08:58:04 -0400

A few weeks ago, I wrote about my plans to attend the Weather and Society - Integrated Studies workshop in Boulder, Colorado.

(That probably explains at least part of why it's taken two weeks to be able to put thoughts in writing!)

Countdown to Colorado

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 23:59:03 -0400

Later this week, I'll be hitting the road -- rather, the skies -- for Boulder, Colorado. I'll be participating in a most interesting workshop called "WAS*IS".

So, the Mrs. decided about an hour ago to stitch together a couple of pieces of denim to make a catnip sack for the cats.
