Today... You will be reading this tomorrow... The media consultants, graphic designers and management all had lunch together. It was free too. Well, free to me and everyone else but not to E.W. Scripps.

There was a contest to see who could sell AND have the best response to a Christmas newsletter we sent out. Well, the number one newspaper in the E.W. Scripps world was your very own Abilene Reporter-News.

This is not a big deal to everyone but in our little bubble, it's pretty impressive.

So, in other news, I found out that I am not as cool as I once thought. My wife, who is my biggest fan but funniest commentator, has been in charge of proofreading my blog entries. Why, you ask?

Here's the long version:

I'm cheap. I mean super cheap. So we have this nice laptop computer we received for Christmas and it does not have MS Office on it. Now I know about 5 different places to get it for free, but I am trying to keep in mind what kind of example I want to set for my kids when they get older and see daddy pirating software. Never mind the fact that as I type this, I am connected to my next door neighbors' wireless internet without their knowledge. ID. (My acronym for "I digress," it's introducing me into texting, LOL.)

So I do not have spell check. Because of this, I will change the words I do not know how to spell into other ones that I do and will tend to spell out conjunctions because I remember an English teacher telling me something about that.

So my last post was about Baron Davis, still amazing, and as she would read the post she would laugh, look at me, shake her head and then you hear the typing. This is after I have made the post available on the site and it had probably been read like 1.5 million times or zero but still.

I then told her I would start to write these posts at work and then I could use MS Word to correct my errors. However, at work I really never get the opportunity because I'm out selling or trying to put together effective, creative programs to help my customers (insert sappy "company man" comment here or below). So I went home today and had this thought that I would give her the wonderful credit she is due because apparently I am a horrible speller.

I am excited about the JV NBA game that will be happening tomorrow between the Spurs and Suns. "I was subbing in"... seriously - who did Amare Stoudemire think he was fooling?

Look at this link, its about Dinosaur Bob, Abilene's Barbaro.
