Howdy (Sorry, but I couldn't resist <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )! Glad to meet you although we have exchanged postings in the past.

I'm Brian, live in Dallas/Ft. Worth and just turned 42. I used to be in Accounting/Auditing/Information Systems until I realized that life was more than making money. I've been teaching high-school for the past 5 years and having the best time of my life. My wife and I just celebrated our 18th anniversary, and have 1 furry kid in Ranger, the world's silliest golden retriever.

I first learned about preparedness when I was in the Boy Scouts (way too many years ago <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> ) and was hooked for life. I started researching on this website after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

I've enjoyed the postings that you and Kuovonne have made particularly when she makes funny comments about keeping you out of trouble.
