Everything’s all right until something goes wrong. You child takes a bad fall and broken bone tears through the flesh and skin. A jet engine on your vacation flight flames out. You took the wrong road in a driving rain and now you’re up to your hubcaps in mud.
Jay Thompson is a man out of Kipling, and I can imagine him in each one of those stories. Calmly setting and splinting a bone, then racing to the hospital. Exuding quiet confidence as he explains why the plane can fly safely on three jets. The man owns a Jeep, and I’d bet a large dollar he knows how to extract your sedan from the mud.
Jay is a man possessed of an unprepossessing competence, a man’s man who just gets in there and gets the job done. I’ve worked with him on half-a-dozen projects, and it has always made me proud to set my shoulder beside his.
And so I am very proud to announce that Jay is joining us today as a contributor to BloodhoundBlog:
Want to find Jay Thompson? Just Google for “Phoenix real estate” — he’s above the fold. Jay is a legend among real estate webloggers, but he’s also an incipient broker, a confirmed desert rat and a committed family man.
Make him feel welcome, if you would. He won’t even have to try to make you feel safe.

…or Google “Pepsi Vanilla”. That story is my favorite.
Jay was Bloodhound before it was cool. Welcome PREG

Thanks folks. I am humbled and honored to be running with the pack. There are some brilliant minds, and even more brilliant writers here. I shall endeavor to add something of value (and increase my Latin vocabulary beyond its current limit of E pluribus unum, caveat emptor and carpe diem).
