About Me

Ok, so for those of you don't know, I FINALLY GOT A NEW JOB. I just started working for the MN DNR as a Parks Specialist. It's basically a manager training program. I'm splitting my time between Wm. O'Brien State Park in Marine On St. Croix, MN and DNR Central Office in St. Paul. It's going to rule and I'm becoming less and less bitter everyday.

Quiet...temporarily. Then you get to know me and realize I'm very sarcastic and I have a story about everything.

I LIKE CHEESE. I miss the north shore.

My Interests

Beer, camping, hiking, backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, forestry, natural resource management, Bauer Power, solidifying current relationship status via email, Ross, http://db.etree.org/KFlitsch, music, crappy inexpensive red wines, educating Boy Scouts (past and present) in the ways of the flesh, drinking an excessive amount of Bloody Marys to help out those affected by Hurricane Katrina, prescribed burns, taking you out like Kung Pao chicken, strip movie trivia, playing outside in the springtime, sipping wine and making sarcastic comments with my mom, visiting and working at MN State Parks on the north shore. Finding a job and having the money to participate in the preceding general interests.

I'd like to meet:

Gov. Tim Paulenty. We need to have a discussion about properly funding his parks.

Music:

770 Radio K, http://db.etree.org/KFlitsch

Movies:

I worked at a video store for a long time so this list could go on and on. Yet it doesn't.

Television:

24, The Simpsons, The Sopranos, Twin Peaks, POV, The Office, Jeopardy

Books:

East of Eden, Textbook of Dendrology, Downsize This! Random Threats from an Unarmed American, Estimating Visitor Use at Voyageurs National Park (look it up - the author's amazing), 1984, The Lorax, SPSS 11.5 Brief Guide
