Retirement and Unretirement

The News and Record published my farewell column this morning (May 2). It's been a good ride- since 1981! Thanks for the followup messages from readers- there were a bunch. The most interesting, however, was a job offer. So, on the same day I officially announce my departure from The News and Record, I announce my new schedule for Yes! Weekly. My column will be published the first Wednesday in each month. There will be a special intro piece in the May 15 edition. Like I said in the newspaper today, I ain't dead yet.
