Still here
Your correspondent has been posting lightly lately because things have been a bit stressful and uncertain in his life lately. His employer, The Daytona Beach News-Journal, just laid off 99 of his friends and co-workers. Yes, this is happening all over and times are bad in the industry but that doesn't make it easier.
Since the N-J announced that it's up for sale, people outside the business talk about to your correspondent as though he has a sick relative. As in, "Oh, and how is your Aunt Martha? I heard about her and am so sorry to hear about it ... though, well, with the way she drank and all, I can't say anybody's not entirely surprised."
Hard times all around. Thanks to those who wrote to ask.
+ Almost 1,000 newspaper workers laid off around the country this week.
