New Room, New Contributor
I spent yesterday doing three things: worshipping; watching the Seattle Seahawks pull out another heart-stopping thriller, this time in overtime, over the New York Giants to extend their winning streak to seven and their NFC-best record to 9-2; and, with my wife, inventorying and "re-locating" ten years' worth of junk that had accumulated in our garage preparatory to the inception of a remodeling project we've been putting off for over five years. Our garage (which hasn't been used as a garage in that same ten years) will go from attached storage unit to storage/utility room and my new den.
Some junk we kept (which means, I guess, that it isn't technically junk), some we took to Goodwill, some we took to the recycling depot, some went in the trash, and the rest is sitting on our deck awaiting disposition. Which is a euphemism for, "Gosh, I hope our next garage sale is more successful than the last dozen." Which, in turn, is a euphemism for "the only thing missing from the term 'garage sale' is the letter 'b'." Anybody want a fifty-year old (at least) push mower? Bet one of THOSE has never been sold on eBay.
This week is also another closing week, so between all of the above, my blogging will be...let's just say "unpredictable."
And that makes the addition of our newest contributor most fortuitous.
John Sims is 48 years old, married with a daughter (and grandson) from a previous marriage. He flies for a commuter airline and is a helicopter pilot in the Maryland National Guard. He has a BS (history major) and graduate credit in history and international affairs, an expertise and knowledgability that is eminently reflected in his writings. He is one of the most able and articulate on-line debators I have ever seen, and we are honored to have his background and expertise added to our multifaceted - or, dare I say diverse - editorial mix.
Welcome aboard, John. Our readers are definitely in for an on-going treat.
