My First Trek into the Blog-o-sphere

Well it has taken awhile, but I finally decided to create my own little space on the web where I can ramble on about whatever I feel like rambling on about. For anyone who doesn't know, my name is Brian, and I grew up in Virginia, but now work as a meteorologist down in Houston, TX in order to support my wife and my little boy (soon to be two children!). Trying to forecast the weather is certainly a fun but very challenging, and sometimes humbling job, since of course you have to accept that you are simply going to be wrong sometimes. Fortunately, the science continues to improve though, but the goal is to work hard to maintain an edge on the competition. Perhaps you do not think of weather forecasting as a competitive business? Take it from me, it can be extremely competitive, especially down here in the energy capital of the nation, where loads of cash can be riding on your forecast, meaning an accurate forecast is in very high demand. Anyhow, enough of that for now. While I will throw in weather related posts here, this blog will not be limited to meteorology by any means, but rather will serve as my place to discuss a variety of topics, from weather to money, politics, current events, or whatever crosses my mind. Everyone definitely has their own perspective on things, and mine will be presented here, when I'm not occupied with my job or entertaining the family (of course that comes first!). Enjoy!
