Reaching out...this blog is the story of me reaching out to learn about my community and world. Cut after cut has affected me, but as usual, I have landed on my feet. In September of 2009, I started working as a Mentoring Coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters in Lewis County. I have worked as a teacher, Park Ranger, Environmental Educator, Fire and invasive species Program, volcano educator, photographer and occasional writer. Check back next week to see what I am doing and have learned!

The Loneliest Newsman in Town
Since moving to Lewis County I have always felt this way; an outsider. The other day, I was covering a track meet in Onalaska and being an old trackster myself, I felt like I would fit in much better than with the baseball teams that I have been covering. It was four hours before I had a significant conversation with a coach from Toledo. Perhaps it is going be a case of credibility that will take months and years before these guys will approach me for a conversation. Only time will tell, when the ice age will end!
