Love the variety you have on here. Get the impression you're interested in geneology. I have a few people I'm going to point to this post and the links you have. I'm sure a few will love them.

I was reading your profile and got the same impression. You mentioned snow in one of your posts. I understand about snow days. I was born and grew up in Chicago, Ill. I moved when I was 45 in 2003.
