I'd like to give a shout-out to my friend Jim Austin, who invited me to speak last Wednesday morning at the forum at Heidi's Brooklyn Deli. For those of you who haven't attended the Forum, these weekly events feature a variety of community leaders who typically deliver a 40-minute address on their business or government entity before opening the floor up for discussion. The sessions are very informative, lively and well attended.

Even though I spend most of my time dealing with hard news as the managing editor of the Daily Press, I'm an enormous sports fan and spend a lot of time following my favorite teams and other developments in that arena. In fact, I started my career as a sports writer and still enjoy covering local sports occasionally.

This entry marks the debut of the Montrose Daily Press' new blogs section. Katharhynn Heidelberg, Kati O'Hare, Matt Lindberg and I will be blogging as often as time permits, offering additional details that we may not have had room for in our stories, making observations, sharing personal experiences that may relate to state or national events, referring our readers to additional information from other sources, and/or soliciting feedback from our readers.
