RIP Jim Groom@UofR

I know, I know, I know I’m a loser, which makes me all the more thankful for the visual given I really don’t know how to put my return to UMW into words. More than that, the JimQuits twitter stream suggests that there’s always room to have a bit of fun on just about any occasion. Suffice it to say (as I so often do): “You can’t live a wrong life ~~rightly~~ writely.”†

If you know who does the JimQuits Twitter ID (how many virtual doppelgangers do you have now?), please pass that on to me, along with a reminder never to piss that person off. Ouch!

Okay, now you have to write your “Groom and I” post.

Congrats!

Jim — I think you’re being cyber-bullied! I’m with Brian — I don’t want to make enemies with whomever is behind the latest Rev incarnation.

(BTW — We don’t think you’re a loser. )

Thanks Martha & Brian for the support, and to be clear JimQuits is my alter ego getting out all that bad stuff before the imminent return, not only to I not mind, but I thoroughly enjoy it, “It’s good for the team, it’s good for the relationship, it’s good all around.”
