A couple of months ago, I started doing some layout at the newspaper. Often it’s just one page a day, but sometimes it’s as much as 8 pages in a day. I enjoy it – it activates that part of my brain that really loves two-dimensional puzzles.
However…I’m really, really, really, really slooooooooooooow at it. …

Tonight’s post is a bit early because we have big thunderstorms rolling through and I want to turn my computer back off in a few minutes.
This last week has been another exercise in letting go of perfection for me. I had a big project at the newspaper that kind of kicked my butt. At …

I brought my shooting range target in to work and my editor posted it outside the newsroom with this sign that he made:
He has now started calling me “Dirty Carey”. 🙂
Tonight I milked a goat for the first time.

Having never shot a gun before, I …

I woke this morning to a message on Facebook that said, “Someone bring back my old New Hampshire.” It took me a minute to figure out that she was referring to yet another local murder.

I spent about six hours in the newsroom today – the first time I’ve ever gone in on a day off. I went because I was deep in the midst of a big project and there’s software on my computer there that made it much simpler. Plus, my colleague Andrew is a whiz at just …

I had a moment of epiphany earlier today. How it had escaped my attention until today, I can’t imagine, but here it is: I’ve often read newspapers and magazines and thought, “I’d love to write a column someday.”
