More about me:
Born in Tampa, Florida more than a half century ago, Jeff Wetherington only began writing professionally in April 2004 when a representative from the Tribune Interactive Media Services (part of the Tribune Company, parent corporation of daily newspapers such as The Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times) offered him the opportunity to write a hyperlocal blog for their website in Orlando after reading the writings on his personal blog.

For 15 months, until July 31, 2006, he provided restaurant, concert, stage play, theme park and venue reviews, as well as political commentary and opinion pieces pertaining to Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region under the nom de plume of "Man About Town". You can review the entire history of the Man About Town writings here.


Beginning in December of 2006 and continuing until present day, Jeff has been drawing upon his enjoyment of the outdoors to serve as the featured writer for Suite101.com's hiking, backpacking and camping section, and in July of 2007 he was presented the opportunity to indulge his almost life-long love of comic books by becoming the writer of the comic book section for Athena Guides.

In addition, he has published two online travel blogs detailing his trips to Scotland and London in 2006 and to France in 2007.

Happily married to Cindy for the past 10 years, Jeff has two children from a previous marriage and two step-children, as well as a grandson and granddaughter. Currently he still resides in Orlando, Florida, but he and Cindy have plans to move to North Carolina in the next few years.

Hello, Jeff. Just wandered in to have a look around. Consider me that rube in the straw boater rubber-necking his way down Fifth Avenue. I am fascinated with the breadth of your "dabbling" in the world of blogs. I pretend to my younger grandchildren that I know all aboaut the Binary world of ones and twos and electrons and such. But, in the privacy of my own home, I keep wondering if blogging isn't tucking notes into bottles and letting the four winds blow them higher and yon. Is there really more down the DSL chute than just a mirror looking back at me? How much feedback do you really get? I admire your hustle in any case.
