A Front Page New(s) Year.

Linda Ellerbee wrote, "Some people think that in Journalism, good news is no news. Not true. News is news, without the judgement call."

It is with great pleasure that I begin this year with good news.

For the first time ever, an article of mine has made the front page. Is it "front page news?" Thankfully, that is not up to me to decide, yet.  Am I happy it's there?  Since I quoted Ms. Ellerbee, let's take the "duck test."  "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."  I am one happy duck.

My holiday column, "Home and Heart" is at the top of the home page at Desert Local News.  To the right of the masthead, you'll see my picture and the link to the entire column.  Please take a look.

Happy New Year, everyone.
