One More Excellent Reason to Blog
I'm a Cleveland, Ohio-based writer, editor and writing coach, with more than 25 years of experience, including stints in Chicago and Washington, D.C. My work has appeared in more than 100 print and online publications, from the New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor to local and regional publications. My work has been recognized by awards (including an Emmy) from four journalism groups.

Aw, Chief, after wandering around Tremont this afternoon, I'm convinced we need to pump some beers into you and just sit back, and listen, to what you have to say...
I'm convinced you can make "The Daily Planet" a better paper - in your own special way...
Chris,
I'd drink beer with you anytime (but probably only one; I'm a lightweight). After all, we're overdue to finally meet.
Sound good! The beer isn't a factor (it's the quality of conversation that matters the most).
I seem to remember you guys having a "writing roundtable" of sorts - or something of that nature. We need to pursue that further - or just keep it going (an informal meet-up of sorts). I was unavailable to attend the last one due to work - but something on a Sunday might be a good idea.
Otherwise, an interesting post on the Irag war - my friend, Alicia, suggests that they start posting deductions (like FICA) on everyone's paystubs to make them AWARE of the COST of this "war on terror." Not that you could ever put a pricetag on the pain of human loss and suffering on something like that...
