I haven't been avoiding yall -- things got away from me Wednesday with calls and texts and DMs and such. And then yesterday morning, the kind folks at Lee Enterprises turned off internet access for the laptop they're getting literally tomorrow. So the past day has been spent not only figuring out what's next, but also buying a laptop and getting it set up.
So, anyway, I'm thrilled to be joining the N&O/Observer. I've long admired the talent they've had on their staffs and will hope to turn this from interim to permanent.
Since it's my understanding that my work will be online-only, I've got to plug a link for subscriptions. It's the business -- if you can sign up, I appreciate it. If not, I completely understand.
At last, I know I've missed some messages on here and I'll be able to go through them at some point before tomorrow night's game. I really can't tell yall how appreciative I am of the support. I'm especially appreciative the messages about my fair coverage. That's all I've ever wanted to do. Clawson called Wednesday and said as much, that he's always thought my coverage was fair -- to which I said that was the highest compliment he could pay me.
Clawson continues to show that he is a class act all the way!
