If you’re home in or near Fairax and the keys to your 4WD are burning a hole in your pocket there might be a justification for you to venture out in this. INOVA Fairfax hospital might have a need for you and your vehicle to help some of their employees get to or from work.

If you call the hospital’s main number at 703-776-4001 and tell them you’ve got a 4WD and are willing to volunteer they will connect you to the right person. They’ll take your location and look to see if there’s any medical personnel near you who need a way to get to work. They may not need you at all or you might have an opportunity to do more than one run, if you so desire.

Please don’t just jump in the car – call and find out if you’re needed. The other way you can help emergency services is by staying off the roads unless you absolutely have to go out: keep clear and don’t potentially become someone who needs their help.

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.

Hmm, guess I just did.

My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
