Back Atcha
My apologies for my lack of postings recently. I was running errands last Friday and Monday/Tues I was recovering from Venus' party Saturday and a late Sunday night w/ fellas.
I'm back now, getting prepared for my lil sis P and my lil cuz Teresa's visit. They get in tonight and will have me doing the host thing right up until I leave for a job interview in Florida, Sunday morning. Reese just turned 21, so you know she wants to party...and who am I to deny her this.
Anyways...I have a couple new blog posts for you to check out and a couple ideas I hope to indulge before I leave for Florida.
No news on the job front just yet. But I interviewed with a NY paper a couple weeks ago and it went extremely well. The editor even hit me off with the Ralph Wiley book, which i thought was very nice of him. I had told him that Wiley was the writer I admired most, because he was provocative and moral, it turns out that Henry (the Journal News' executive editor) "was the one that made Ralph a columnist" back when he was running the Oakland Tribune in the late 70s/early 80s. Anyways, he sent me a book that a publisher compiled after Uncle Ralph died last year...its like his Greatest Hits type joint. What's funny is that he wrote me a note that wasn;t so much about why he thought I would like this, since Uncle Ralph is one of my inspirations...no, his note was moreso a vehicle for him to remind me that he was such a prescient editor...it ended, "He definitely made you think. That's why I made him a cloumnist." I got a few chuckles out of that and was definitely appreciative of the gift.
Anyways, I hope to hear from them soon and I hope the interview in St. Pete/Tampa goes well, too. Coincidentally -- and to my surprise -- as of last week, Austin still had me on a short list of people they wanted to bring in...so things are finally starting to speed up.
Until then, I'm still temping, or should I say blogging, for a living.
