Hello to all
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to the faithful following of this thought provoking page. I’m Jim, the new addition our fearless leader alluded to yesterday. I’ll try not to rehash much of what has been said about me but here goes:
Born in Abilene, Texas in 1978, moved to Ohio in 1980. Two sets of wonderful loving parents, one here in Columbus, one in Austin. Majored in Industrial Engineering at Purdue University long enough that it became a running joke among my friends. Seriously.
I am temporarily employed by the Ohio Hospital Association’s Education department while I search for something in my field, and what an education it has been.
I am a flat out College Football FANATIC who once settled on a wedding date because the Boilers had a bye. I enjoy the Longhorns, cheer for Ohio State, but my heart lies with Purdue.
I have an evolving political ideology as I am exposed to a variety of opinions. I have close friends in virtually every political camp possible, many of whom enjoy debating their ideas with me.
I am currently shaping my first post, which will be a nonpolitcal piece with a solution to the BCS mess. I originally volunteered to be Brad’s sports editor, though hopefully as I get more comfortable with this whole “blog” thing I will branch out and share my feelings on other matters as well. With the webmaster’s permission of course.
Born Texan. Raised Buckeye. Boiler by the grace of God.

Hi Jim, Glad to have ya! We are from Houston. I was born here and TF got here as quick as he could. He was born in Oklahoma and moved to Levittown-Long Island, New York when he was 3. Came to Texas when he was 12. We married in 71′- Have 3 children born in 78 – 79 and 82. Our oldest went to UT. She loved it there. Middle child married with 1 1/2 children. (one one the way) Youngest works on an oil rig in Wyoming. Avid baseball fans. Go Astros! They aren’t doing so good this year. Need pitching and more offense. So you are a fancy dancy engineer. Good luck finding a job in you field. I’m sure you are glad to have friends like Brad. We’ve grown very fond of him. That’s enough, Glad to have you aboard. Lucy Stern
