The Earth is Flat

You can see a lot of things from an 11th floor hotel room in Fargo, one of the flattest and least populated cities in the country. Actually it's so flat, you can see the curvature of the Earth. It's a far cry from any major metropolitan area I'm use to. It's fair to say the Radisson is at least twice the size of any building. I hear the Fargo population is about 90,000 and though I would have doubted it if that would have come from the mouths of some of my native-Fargo cohorts. People do live there, you can indeed see a wide vision of lights across the horizon at night. Little did I know electricity is alive and well in arguably the lamest state in the union.

So why go to Fargo? I had a nice two-day tryout at the Forum, the official newspaper for the Fargo-Moorhead (Minn.) area. I've been looking for reporter gigs for awhile, and I do think it could be a great first step in what will be a tremendous career.

P.S. --> Here's the hard-hitting story to prove college was worth over $50,000. CLICK HERE.

For now, I'm still unemployed but this week is full of optimism and job interviews. I've got a solid beat on a reporting gig in Fargo, two community weekly rags, an Internet broadcasting company and Golfweek Magazine. The golf magazine's sending me to Mickey Mouse-land tomorrow. I can promise I will be sipping coronas a few hours from now in shorts with my feet up. Savor that thought in your cubicle earning your paychecks.
