Scout on the Front Page

I have a story in the paper today that I think you'll find interesting, if not cleanly written. I actually made mental notes today comparing my original submission to the edited piece, so now I know what not to do next time. Every day is a learning experience, isn't it?

Anyway, here's the story.

Cool! Robyn the front page journalist!
It's a great piece (as always) and it is a pleasure to watch your writing career blossoming.

Hey! I know Patrick and Lori. And you do too!

We sure have good taste in friends.

Not only did I learn some local news, I was inspired!

Great work!
Well done Robyn! The front page feels so good doesn't it. It's always a learning experience, with the Subs changing your text; it never changes, however experienced you get so it's one of those things you have to live with unfortunately.

Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations.

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...
