Thank you to all the readers who were legitimately concerned about me after reading my last blog. Thanks especially to Mr. R.E. who was so kind to leave me a voicemail at work and ask me if I was OK. It meant a lot!

To answer your question: yes, I am fine. I chose not to get personal on my last blog and this entry will be no different. I just wanted to encourage anyone out there who may be going through a hard time. I know I appreciate a kind word or supportive pat on the back every once in a while.

I hope everyone has a great week and thanks for reading. I don't feel like I have much to say on this blog, especially nothing very intelligent. I questioned the idea of having a blog when it was handed to me several month ago, but I took the challenge and am doing what I can.

I'm always open for ideas of what people want to talk about.

After all, I'm a reporter. I'm used to writing stories about YOU and what YOU are doing ... not me. This is your forum.
