Two days on the job, and my version of living the dream is actually happening.

I've gotten such wonderful welcome e-mails from people in the community, not to mention some face recognition from the picture that ran in this morning's paper.

This is not to say that I have it all together, though. It's going to take me a while to remember when meetings are at Clay City instead of North Clay, and which road is 40 and which is 46.

If you see a car with Wisconsin license plate driving slowly with it's blinker on, there's a very good chance that's me.

I hope to use this blog as a way to get to know what really is on the mind of people in the community, and possibly to start some discussions on topics that have nothing to do with education.

And there's a good chance you'll read some ranting on hockey, my favorite sport, as well.

If you're curious about the title, it is a response to people's reaction when they find out I drive an hour and twenty minute commute (one way) every day.

If you see a car with Wisconsin license plate driving slowly behind a farming implement, driver looking very angry, there's a very good chance that's me, and I'm very late.

Thank you to those who have welcomed me, and I look forward to whatever the daily commute will bring!
