Popping my head up out of my hole . . .
May. 31st, 2010 07:47 pmI owe a lot of people apologies for this weekend.
I wound up picking up a number of assignments for the local paper and never made it down to Roses or out to Panteria (not that I thought I would get there anyway).
Alethea also wound up with an event-free weekend, and neither of us had the aforethought to tell our friends.
If you were looking for me this weekend, I am sorry.
I do not expect I will be at an SCA event until Northern Region War Camp, although Alethea will be at Vinland Raids.
The paper I write for has gone to an annoying tactic and does not post all of its stories on the web. This is coupled with the rise in price of the paper to $1 and is to encourage subscriptions.
But the one story I was most proud of did make it up, and considering it was cut in the print edition, I was pleased.
I was especially happy, because I felt it was solid, and the head editor is on the board of directors of the historical cottage I wrote about.
(Please note, if you see a typo or an error, I don't want to know). I was also doing a lot of sports events last week.
This week, you ask?
I am on the Elvis Fest beat.The city editor has decided it would be a good idea to have a single person cover Elvis Fest in Lake George, and I am the guy. Ernie: I am probably going to get to do some Americade stories the following weekend.
I also covered a folk festival and two Memorial Day ceremonies this weekend. The ceremonies have me a lot of food for thought.
I miss youse guys!
