    Special Olympics

    I'll bet a lot of the families of the competitors are sports fans... otherwise many of them probably wouldn't be involved. So they would probably really appreciate a feature on the sports page. Even if it wasn't a big thing. For some reason, I'm thinking about that story a few months back about...

    Face it: Daughter may want to have sex before marriage

    OH MY GOSH! I got caught on a plane next to a woman who works at one of these clinics. I was holding my baby, so she must have assumed I was pro-life. So she announces that she works at this great clinics where women think they can get an abortion, but instead they give her sonogram. This woman...

    Has your paper made "Headlines?"

    I was at a paper that made Leno in the '90s. The paper was in a somewhat rural town in Colorado where the July 4 rodeo is huge. Every year we did a rodeo preview tab. One year, we ran a photo of the rodeo committee, which was made up of about 15 white men older than 40. The photo had them in a...

    Wow. Just Wow.

    If he did, he probably said it in French. Il vomissait littéralement ses entrailles dehors. Mais je n'ai pas vomi dans ma bouche

    Pierre de Coubertin would never say something like that. If he did, he probably said it in French.

    "We Are Marshall"

    Was this Bill (father) and Will (son who died) Hancock? I know Bill quite well (I've worked two Olympics with him) and knew Will from Sydney. That was definitely a sad story.

    Misuse of "literally" just KILLS me. >:( "He was literally puking his guts out." Really? His stomach and intestines were on the floor?

    You're on deadline ... and an emergency strikes

    Thanks for the congratulations. I would post a photo, but I'm not sure how. He is the cutest baby ever; but I might be biased! ;D

    Wow. Just Wow.

    Does anyone else watch or listen to sportscasters on a pleasant Saturday or Sunday and end up shouting at the sportscasters? I know that commentating on live TV or radio cannot be an easy job. And I know I've said things during media interviews that were probably not grammatically correct. But...

    You're on deadline ... and an emergency strikes

    I agree with everyone that family has to come first. My husband and I just adopted a little boy and I am finding that I have to change my priorities completely. No more working "just 15 more minutes" and then getting home an hour late. But I also want to say that this is the fourth time in a...
