World-travelling country boy from the Appalachian foothills. I'm as comfortable digging ditches as I am rubbing elbows with foreign diplomats. Both can be satisfying and both can get you dirty, all at the same time.

    I was getting dizzy it was going by so fast.

    LOL!

    I’m still impressed by how well you draw hands. You’re a manos man.

    Alrighty then. For the record, you all can call me whatever you want as long as I know you’re talking to me. Call me Jim, Jimbo, Vlad, Buttwipe, Cracken of the Underworld, I don’t care. Stupid nicknames go beyond respect and are part of the camaraderie. Firebutt the fartmonger, Gweeds the goat pimp, Vengey, Uncle Rob… You all are great.

    I feel sorry for Eric too. He can write, but the dailies aren’t his strong suit. He needs to apply himself where he works best. If I see a mystery novel of his on the shelf at the book store I might buy it. That seems to be where he writes best.

    Am I a writer? I probably have a couple of fiction books in me, but I’ve got more non-fiction material in me I might set forth some day. I’m not going to delude myself into thinking that I’d ever be a great writer though. I have been to school and have read enough in my life to have learned what a proper story looks like. This is about as flat as they come. Could I write a Tracy arc myself? I don’t know. I haven’t tried. One thing’s for certain, if I did I wouldn’t try to pass it through the Tribune if what I’ve heard about their editorial manipulation is true. If that’s screwing Eric up, I sympathize. Get out while you can.

    No. He was on the board of directors for company before he stepped down to be the gov and took a picture with my team before he left to remind him of the people who matter most. He was a pretty good governor though his political opponents didn’t think so. That’s the way of it.

    As for the Post Office wall, my boss at the time retired early last year because he knew he was going to cop a plea deal for sexual assault. He isn’t eligible for parole until 2039.

    Giving him the courtesy of a reach-around.

    I knew one of my state’s former governors. He had a picture of me in his office. I don’t know my state’s governor today and have never seen him.

    I would expect him to be more concerned about campaign contributions if he’s not already in the Totten’s back pocket.

    “Jaws of danger” kind of points to the bite for me – kind of a kinky Lorena Bobbit.
