Tonight I treated myself to a long walk, and surprised myself at how far I was able to walk and not feel too tired – not that I wasn’t all huffy puffy, but still. I walked nearly two miles! It really helps that fall is slowly, but surely arriving and the temperatures are starting to come down. Yes, it’s still hot (mid 90s) but it’s an improvement over the 100 plus temps of the last month. The humidity is also much better. I really do think that helps!
Things are super busy trying to get everything at work under control so that I can be gone for a week and not suffer too much. Tomorrow my baby, the New Orleans story, will be posted on our Web site. I FedEx’ed some issues from the very first box that came from the printer to some of the key sources. This afternoon I got a nice e-mail from one of them.
As a reporter I’m not out to make my sources happy, but in this case, I was hoping they would be pleased. Everyone worked so hard on making the ALA show a success. I couldn’t help empathize with several of the sources. If the show had been a disaster, I would have had no problem reporting all the problems – but everyone’s hard work did pay off.
I suspect we’re about to be hit with a flood of Katrina coverage for the one-year anniversary, and I’m so glad that I got to go and see the city for myself.
I was also tickled that they decided to use some of my photos in the layout. There was a lot of skepticism about how usable my photos would be (on my part as well) but some did come out very well.
I’d love to write more, but I’ve got an HPS project I really need to get finished.
P.S. Please keep Katy in your prayers. She’s on the road to recovery, but we all know that at times that road can seem to have some pretty big boulders in it.
