I was one of the first to register for ConvergeSouth this year, but then I had to unregister because of schedule conflicts. (Although my comments in this blog thread left some folks thinking I didn’t enjoy it last year. Not true! Read all my comments in that thread!)

The N&R has posted Joe Killian’s “The story behind the story,” about his investigation of the gang story that ran in Sunday’s paper.

My summer break is going great so far. Here are some quick notes:
I took my sister and my niece to meet Pete and Ricky. On the way, we passed the bridge where they lived for four years. The NightWatch truck was parked outside when we got there, and the house was full […]
