I am a newspaper geek/photo guy and was amazed when I found your blog. I only get to read about the news and see the talking heads. Its nice to get an idea of the people behind the scenes and what they do. I'm more interested in the perspective of the members of an organization than I am in what a teleprompter says.

Because I take the train often to commute back and forth, I love the conversations I've had with different types of people from all walks of life. They let me in on a little piece of their life and in turn, change my life in some way or another. I could associate with the 14-year old El Salvadorian girl who just lost her baby a couple months before and the nice elderly lady who ended up being close friends with Enrico Ferme throughout his whole life. The past always contains answers for the future. If that's what your underlying purpose when exposing the story...then, you should hold no guilt. Only compassion and understanding can make the trial a little easier.J-Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958461579699681183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012911.post-1091061733989756432004-07-28T17:42:00.000-07:002004-07-28T17:42:00.000-07:00By the way, I noticed today that your sidebars jit...By the way, I noticed today that your sidebars jitter left and right when you reload the page.

Americans are so much into the instant sound bite/short attention span stuff, it would be a nice change. Also, look at it from the history angle. You have an opportunity to leave a written record of some very important events, and every day events too. Call it "Action Man: Eye on America!" I had the opportunity to translate my Grandfather's diary and it provided a portrait of a time in the world that is now forever gone. Even bunnies won't last forever!suegeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668439547949644469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012911.post-1091052982171341122004-07-28T15:16:00.000-07:002004-07-28T15:16:00.000-07:00Boston Bryan,

Past events are the same way. If they evoke memories we've buried or conjure up a new way of thinking based on your experience or opinion, then it's worth it to share them again. News is interesting...lay it on us.<br /><br />And pictures, even of bunnies (smirk), never get old.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164866241731390243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012911.post-1091041468154023222004-07-28T12:04:00.000-07:002004-07-28T12:04:00.000-07:00I do a lot of genealogy research, and over and ove...I do a lot of genealogy research, and over and over I find that our family history is sinking beyond retrieval because the people who have the knowledge start to forget, or they pass away. It's not just news that's transitory. You're there, you have the nose, you're a great communicator. I say, write it down! Quick, before it gets away! It never hurts to get another perspective.

If it gets people to think, you've been helpful. If it helps you by talking about it, then that is what matters. I live across the street from a funeral home, and see families all the time in the worst possible state and yet here are the funeral directors, just another job to them. I say by talking about the past, no one forgets. Sorry, I'm a bit all over the place.paintergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773630769597376510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012911.post-1091031860644844312004-07-28T09:24:00.000-07:002004-07-28T09:24:00.000-07:00If I were you, I don't think I would spend alot of...If I were you, I don't think I would spend alot of time enlightening us on past stories unless there is some relevance to a current topic your speaking on. In my experience with blogging, publishing and just keeping a journal, trying to go back and document things from the past become tedious. On top of that, it seems the point of a blog, especially your blog, is to show people what you've been up to lately. So to sum up, I'd say to save the stress and anxiety of trying to re-tell a story and just work on keeping up with the day to day action.Doug - The JeepCruzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01439569527238288517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012911.post-1091028429149617022004-07-28T08:27:00.000-07:002004-07-28T08:27:00.000-07:00It is going to be a judgement call on a case by ca...It is going to be a judgement call on a case by case basis.

Except for the people that live them, and those who take them to heart such as yourself. Im glad you have AW and family to help you download yer recycle bin... and im really glad that there are people like you that actually care about things other than aquisistions. take care of your health and your family..and keep the stories coming! if even 1 person out of 1000 stops for a second and cares about 'old news'... then you've done a marvelous thing. bet the hardest part for you is not getting time to followup every single story....magzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351879762711676150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012911.post-1091028051203792012004-07-28T08:20:00.000-07:002004-07-28T08:20:00.000-07:00I have shots of Playboy Bunnies.I have shots of Playboy Bunnies.BeFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814239467355086230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012911.post-1091027005516943512004-07-28T08:03:00.000-07:002004-07-28T08:03:00.000-07:00It's really a judgement call on your part.
