This is the home of the polishweasel. The name is really just a conglomeration of a few things in my life. I am Polish by decent and last name only...American in every other sense of the word. The weasel came about when I used to play hearts with some friends of mine. I had this nasty habit of shooting the moon about 1 in every 4 hands we played...never getting caught until it was too late. Nearly every time this happened, one of my friends would yell, "WEASEL!" So that's me.

I am a stay-at-home dad, when I am not a full-time graduate student working on my PhD in Atmospheric Science. My research will be focusing on how to get the effect of upper atmospheric clouds into climate models, by using data from recently launched satellites to verify and numerically represent this effect. I play poker on the side, as a hobby, and got my start with Railbirds in May of 2007. I am currently on one of those let's turn nothing into something quests, and am making slow progress. Since I only get to play maybe an hour a day, I would just like to see what I can get. If I can turn into something significant later on...great...otherwise, my poker career is a freeroll (thanks to Railbirds), with nothing but time invested. Please read my blog as I continue to post sporadic updates about my progress (and yes, I do mean sporadic...like probably 2-3 times monthly). Cheers, and hope to see you at the tables!
