Formerly known as EaglesFanInTampa since starting in 2005. I'm a longtime editor, but just dipping my toes back into the editing pool after a decade-long hiatus. Go easy on me, please. I'm still working off of 15+-year old wiki-coding I have stored somewhere in a wrinkle of my gray matter I forgot existed.
My thoughts
At some point, I'll be getting back to work on WikiProject Tampa Bay. However, right now, I'm doing odd jobs as there's only 24 hours in a day and I have other, more monetarily gainful goings on. As I get more time, I'll get back to the way things were.
Come see what I'm working on now; it's right here in my sandbox (or what I'm also working on in my 2nd sandbox)!
