Today is my Sunday. This was the first full weekend I spent in North Carolina where everything wasn’t torn up and crazy and all. Basically, this was my first normal weekend since Dec. 2. This is how I spent it. I was up late Monday night talking to Renée because we talk at night due [...]

All that’s left is painting. They have to because there was water damage. We’re currently lobbying for it not to be a putty color. Yes, I know: paint then floor. There was some minor cart-before-horsing between the repairmen and the insurance company. It’s hard to believe the room looked like this when I got there: [...]

President Obama talked about his jobs act and the attempt to get it passed in chunks, starting this week. I sat in a press riser well away from him in a fire station. Nothing spectacular happened. I’ll be more excited if I actually talk to a president.

But I did not shoot Bill Bolling. Wednesday was a luncheon for the Republican Party of Virginia. Apparently, Texas Gov. Rick Perry was invited before he was truly a candidate for president, let alone a front-runner for the party. When we saw that this was happening, we knew we had to go. Part of the [...]

I ran out to get lunch earlier today since I forgot that I had a meeting this afternoon and didn’t bring any food. When I went to get a drink, I grabbed an ice tea, namely a Brisk Tea since I haven’t had one in a while. When I got back to the office, I [...]

The newspaper building was worse than we thought. Today, we found out that all the ceiling tiles had to go in the newsroom and the carpet. After we put the paper to bed around noon, we were essentially evicted. My last look at my office today was our stuff wrapped in thick plastic and men [...]

My house survived the storm but the power has been out since before it rained. That happens often here. It’s just our grid so literally across the street and the street behind us have juice. Dominion estimates we’ll have it back by 7 a.m. Shaunelle and I vented our frustrations to the poor guy running [...]

In journalism, a double truck has a few meanings, one of which is a page layout that spans two adjoining pages. I think I haven’t experienced one that wasn’t for an ad or a promotion since college. The opportunity to do a double truck presented itself for today’s issue. It wasn’t a true one, though, [...]

Let the sunshine in. Your pants. Seriously? No one saw anything wrong with this before it went to print? This is so unfortunate. I agree with Mr. Apple. You have to have a dirty mind to be an editor. If not, you get the entire Internet laughing at your paper like a 12 year old. [...]
