“All systems go for throttle-up …”
Welcome to another online venture courtesy of The Daily Times and yours truly, Weekend editor Steve Wildsmith. As if you didn’t have enough Web sites to keep up/kill time with already.
The idea behind these staff blogs is to let you get to know us, to share some of what goes on behind the scenes and to offer our opinions, thoughts and insight into what we do. We want to share a little bit of who we are.
Me, I’m a recovering drug addict, a father, a son, a music lover, a fan of most things pop-culture and a guy who finds humor in the morbid and cynical side of life. (Hence the title of this entry. Yes, it’s a reference to the Challenger disaster.) That said, I like to think I’m somewhat of an optimist, but really my skewed perception of the world and the way it works can’t be so easily classified.
I’ll be posting my columns, both my personal column as it appears in The Daily Times Weekend edition on Friday and my addiction/recovery column that posts every Wednesday. You can keep up with what I do in various places, including Weekend on The Daily Times site, Weekend’s Myspace page or my Twitter account.
Send feedback, offer suggestions, comment, criticize, what have you. I look forward to it.
