Wow - even more time lapses without a valid update. Shameful. All apologies to all readers. BUT...I do have a really good excuse this time around. Instead of the generic, vague, and often eye-rolling "I've been busy" defense, I actually really have been busy in the last little while. REALLY busy, actually.
I got a new job. I'm still at the trusty Weather Network, but in a newer capacity - as full-time reporter for southern Ontario. Some of you may recall in the summer when I filed reports for Weather Network News for a couple weeks. Well, I'll be doing that all the time now. It's a really cool gig and I'm excited beyond words. We've already done some stories that have aired, and it's been a blast so far getting them together.
Some of you may wonder how this is different from my prior situation. For the past year and a half, I've worked as a news writer for the Weather Network - researching and writing news stories for the network's news segments. It was only part-time, and I supplemented that with various freelancing gigs (some of which can be read on this site). Well now, I'll still be researching and writing stories for the Weather Network news segments, but this time I'll be setting up interviews, voicing the scripts, and even appearing on-camera. Very killer to say the least.
So if you're interested, tune in at :12 and :42 past the hour and you might catch one of my reports. They're challenging and fun at the same time - a truly worthwhile experience at this stage in my career. For that, I'd like to thank everyone at the Weather Network for this awesome opportunity, and I'd like to extend that thanks to you - my friends and family - for all the support over the years.
Keep rockin'.

When is The W Network going to update the "personalities" page on their site and put a pic of your gop on it! And finally don't you think GW is coping out by not addressing parlament? He is missing a chance to start making amends to the rest of the world or a least pleed his case. What's up with that guy? gs
