Winter is upon us, and although New York City has yet to see a major snowfall I am already dreading the unholy mixture of dirt, trash and icy slush that city dwellers must trudge through after an urban snowstorm. City snowfall makes me miss picturesque Hanover winters. There was something truly magical about snow when it covered rolling hills, granite and pine trees (even if it was accompanied by arctic winds and frostbite). Snow-covered Aldo billboards and frozen dumpsters really don’t do it for me. I hope you all are finding ways to make your winters as pleasant and aesthetically pleasing as possible. In the meantime, let’s check in with our fellow classmates.

Marley McMillan is in Minnesota working for 1500 ESPN Radio, the ESPN affiliate station in the Twin Cities. “I work on a weekday morning sports talk radio show and I am a contributor for 1500espn.com. Hoping to get into some commercial voice work and start booking some local singing gigs with a band. I am otherwise playing hockey for the Minnesota Whitecaps, an elite women’s team in the area.”

Molson Hart spent four months in China designing and then manufacturing a “transcendentally magical product” called Kikbo. Check it out at www.kikbo.com.

That’s all for now folks! Keep the updates coming and stay warm this winter!
