first foray into blogging...

After browsing blogs for a few weeks, I've decided to join the growing masses and carve out a niche for myself. The first post will contain the obligatory (read: humdrum) personal information and thoughts on the future direction of the blog.

I'm a graduate student in geography at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. My research deals with historical Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the United States decennial census of population and housing (exiciting, eh?). In my free time, I love to read, cook, run, and watch TV/movies with my wife.

This blog will focus on my free time activities, especially running. If I'm diligent (for those who know me, that's debatable...), this blog will be a diary of my training and racing, interspersed with comments on books, food, books about food, and television.

Have you read any of the Vince Flynn books?

Too much time? Surely you jest!

Nope, I haven't read any of his books. Are they good?

Ok, I have sent you both emails and have yet to hear a response from either. If you have time to check out the blog, you have time to write!! Ha ha ha. I just got back from McCormick and Schmick's downtown. Ahh, the budget of a sales rep!

The books are mysteries that include the politics of the CIA, FBI, etc. Flynn is from the Cities.
