    Default Excited - cuz I'm a dreamer

    Today I applied for a job in Alaska - thanks NT for your pics.

    Won't know for some time - but it's a promotion, 3 year assignment w/ return rights back here to MI.


    Hopefully the adventure happens!

    No thanks, I don't mind "visiting" snow but living in it for "months" out of a year doesn't appeal to me
