Actual First Post

And now, the actual first post on this blog.

A little bit about myself: I'm two years removed from college (Truman State University, '07 B.A. Communication), and in two weeks I'm leaving my current job in Northwest Arkansas to pursue married life in the United Kingdom. Hence why I'm starting this blog.

I hope to keep in contact with people I've been around and spoken to during my career as a journalist, both at Truman and at KURM. With this blog, I aim to provide my own take on things happening in the Show-Me State, even though I'll be 4400 miles away with my beloved woman atop the White Cliffs of Dover. Conversely, I'll be sure to put a Midwestern take on all the happenings with European politics. It just so happens that when I arrive in the U.K., it'll be nine days before elections for the European Parliament. Finally, I'll have the occasional actual journalistic piece, complete with sound clips and the like.

And, every now and then, I'll just comment about life in general. When's the last time someone from Missouri blogged about relocating to England?

Hope you enjoy it.

First Post

For the sake of getting the updated color & layout scheme figured out, this is my first post.

There really should be something tangible here, but it's Friday night. Have fun all.
