Coming Back To The Blog

Good Morning From Oregon. Well thats the best first line I could come up with this morning. I've had a request to update my blog and since nothing is happening at this moment, why not. Thanks to frequent reader D.B. for the suggestion.

So a lot of happened over the last two months. I took a job at KUPL FM in Portland and I think its the coolest job. I work with a ton of great people and radio is fun again. It has been a little weird going from the news/talk/sports to music radio, but I am adjusting well and it doesn't hurt its country music either. I'm doing promotions for the time beings and am hopeful to pick up a little production if it comes along. Staying in radio, Sports Business Radio and Bitsy Kelley Outdoors (my two shows) are moving right along. SBR is about to relaunch our website with some fresh new content and BKO is starting to get into the busy season with Bitsy traveling all over the place. It looks like BKO will start to tie in the televisions shows that Bitsy is now staring in.

On the weather front.....its been an interesting winter. To quote Jim Taylor, "its been the 500 foot winter!" The Portland metro area has had numerous bouts with snow and winter precip. Most of it has been falling at the 500 foot elevation mark and above and its only come down the valley floor a few times. We had a white Christmas this last year and it made for a great morning. Vancouver had a Tornado come thru and it did some awesome damage. NWS rated it an EF-1. Things have calmed down this week and it looks like we are about to get into a little bit warmer pattern which is good news. With all this snow in the foothills and low elevations, we would be worried about flooding, but it looks like the water storage places are still low. We need them to be filled for a non drought summer. On to the AMS, I'm still on the executive council and have been nominated for President. The current president has expressed an interest in running again. We'll see how it all turns out.

I've taken up the hobby of the stock market. No I'm not investing at the moment, but I find the whole thing very interesting. I want to start to invest in the near future, but current financial situation won't allow it right now.

I'm doing well, just have some things on my plate at the moment and looking forward to seeing how this year turns out. So far 2008 is out of the gate with a bang, and I hope it continues....
