Please Welcome a New Ricochet Member
If I may interrupt our running stream of political drama in the GOP primaries, I'd like to register a point of pride and introduce a new member to the Ricochet fold, my Dad, Jim Carter. For those of you who have read this post about our travels together, or this tribute to a remarkable parent, or this post about his current battle with Alzheimer's, you probably feel as if you already know him.
Where I would say that he has been without internet access, he would cut to the chase by saying, "My dot com is busted." Well, that issue has been remedied, and so he is among the computing. He's still wading into the workings of his IPad, learning what virtual button performs which virtual function. He already has some good ideas for posts, and as his familiarity and comfort with his dot com grows, I expect we may benefit from some interesting stories and the wisdom that comes from a life well lived.
In the meantime, won't you please welcome our new member? (And please don't rat me out too much. I'm still in trouble for putting that whoopee cushion on the preacher's chair.)

Welcome, Mr. Carter! Wonderful that you are here.
Re: Please Welcome a New Ricochet Member
Welcome, Mr. Carter. As a father myself, I know you never get tired of hearing it, so let me just compliment you on your boy. Hell of a man. I can only imagine how proud you must be. Good luck with your health. We're all rooting and praying for you.

Re: Please Welcome a New Ricochet Member
Thank you all for the welcome. This seems like a pleasant neighborhood. You are all so kind, but I must confess. When someone calls me Mr. Carter, I look over my shoulder thinking my Pop is standing behind me. Problem is, he passed away a few years ago. My friends call me Jimbo, and you all seem very friendly.
I'm very happy to be here and look forward to getting to know you and talking with you.
