Hello Everyone! Sorry for posting so late! I’m in St. Petersburg, Fla. going through some video training at the Poynter Institute. I am having a great time, even though "Hurricane Fay" is looming. We aren’t sure if we will be able to complete the training with the hurricane coming. If I were in South Florida, I’d be wrestling with Ms. Fay there, too. Sigh. Tropical living at its finest.
I took a risk to go to training even though the weather isn’t so hot now. You have to take risks. Part of being a frugal capitalist is taking risks that will pay off in the long run. I want to learn how to shoot better video and get better at my job.
Do you ever take professional risks? How have they paid off? Please tell Fay to go away. She’s no fun.

Way to train! I plan to be in class this fall. With layoffs looming, becoming well rounded is a good investment.
There are no tropical storms – NYC is risky enough. I hope Fay is kind to you.
I don’t think I’m too risky but I applaud what you are doing. This will enhance your skill set so much.
Great going Frugalista!
I hope the weather holds up.
Coco-Thanks for the kind words. Fay was kind to me in St. Pete. Who knows what I’ll come home to.
PJD-Thanks for the love!
If it makes you more marketable, I say go for it. I’m sure you learned much and am guessing we all will see more video of you and your escapades on the blog now.
The great thing about video training is that it opens up lucrative careers in South Florida. After The Miami Herald goes through its next round of layoffs in September, reporters trained in video can work for websites like 8thstreetlatinas,com
Brent-Yep, you will see more video. But now, I can edit it myself! Yay!
Still Broke-:(
