Catching up

Wow, what a week.

As Vanessa mentioned, I have been operating at somewhere between 30 percent (Monday-Tuesday) and 75 percent (today) healthy, and between that and a scheduled seminar today, we're behind on our Web updates and the next paper. I cut out after the morning session of the NC Press Association conference to catch up back at the office, but we're not going to have both editorial people back until Friday. At that point, we will give a more thorough rundown of next week's paper. We held a few less-timely stories over from last week and have some solid features coming down the pipeline.

We were blessed this week to have the photography skills of Ed Kubacki, of the Orange wrestling team staff, to display in the paper. It was a nice addition to Peter Rourk's coverage.

Again, back in the swing by tomorrow, but this week has flown by (and I spent a good part of it imitating a zombie around the office with people telling me to go home).

Among other things, look next week for a story about the Maple View Agricultural Center. They are still doing work on the outside elements of the property, but they have some high hopes for the facility and its role in the education of local students.
