It may be hard to believe, but there is another guy named Jimmy associated with Key West that I like. He’s former mayor Jimmy Weekley.

Jimmy Weekley was mayor of Key West about the time James and I started going there regularly. We both have a strong interest in local government, and we would read the local news when we were there, and sometimes at home after we fell in love with Key West. I always liked Mayor Weekley and from what I could tell, was doing a very good job.

An opinion piece that I authored was published in today’s Dallas Morning News, complete with a picture of my smiling face.

Well, I asked for it so I only have myself to blame. I was appointed to the City of Frisco’s Planning & Zoning Commission tonight.

It was a pretty exciting meeting, even if I hadn’t been a candidate. 39 people applied and there were 5 spots available. 1 was for the remaining 12 months of a two-year term, due to a recent resignation. 4 are full two-year terms. I wasn’t among those nominated for the 1 year term, but I was the first name nominated for the first of the full two-year terms. 2 more people were nominated (both of whom were later appointed) and I was appointed.

Without going into too much detail, there were a lot of nominations and votes required to fill out the remaining slots. It was really a nail-biter for the others who were nominated.

I’m really looking forward to this and hope to make a difference on the long-term liveability and appeal of Frisco. I’m sure I’ll have stories to tell along the way.
