I tend to forget I have a blog. And I tend to forget I have a life. I really love being a journalist — a graphically inclined journalist. However, I need to get away from my workspace and live a little. … Well, not today — haha! I’m going to an Oklahoma Press Association seminar called Get Opinionated. It’s all about writing editorials and columns. And it will take me 3 hours to drive to the location. From McAlester to OKC, the round trip will be 6 hours! And the seminar is only 5 hours, lunch included. However, lunch is not offered. A list of restaurants were given. … Nonetheless, I should enjoy myself. … Sorry Stan for using that word. This blog isn’t objective anyway.
