The Continuing Chronicles of the FNG(irl): My Fleeting Four Minutes of Fame

I’m pretty darned excited to be able to share that as of….well, right now actually….. I’ve joined Art aka “ChiefReason”, Mick Mayers and a group of very talented and passionate fire service bloggers on “TheKitchenTable” at www.firerescue1.com

I can’t state with any confidence or certainty that I’ve written anything of the same caliber as the folks I’ll be sharing that space with, but I will fully admit that I’m electrified and flattered to have been asked to join in. My writer’s soul is reveling in the opportunity to have a new corner from which to post my wandering thoughts; so thanks to the folks at FireRescue1.com for giving me the opportunity. I hope they know what they’re getting themselves into….

I haven’t been this excited since I was sworn in at my fire department. Or maybe that time when I was five and I got a Robbie the Robot for Christmas. Yeah, more like THAT kind of excited.

I don't have my profile pic or bio up yet, but check back...and while you're at it and if you like what you're reading...leave a comment, and not just for me...check out the other contributor's blogs. Good stuff...no, check that....amazing stuff.

Who knew knuckle-dragging, truckie/engine caveman firefighters could be so erudite?

Way to go, Mel! Are you still going to publish blogs here, perhaps to try them out before showing them off in the Big League? We'd hate to feel left out...
