Good for him, I hope. He was the temporary fill-in EIC there for months and months...and temporary, as it often does, started stretching...

I had a two-week temp job that lasted 11 months.

Famous writer? Um, what?

Actually, Todd, I was hired as the full-time EIC. (Brian Hickey was the interim guy for five months.) Still, three years have gone by in a blink. Sort of.

Sorry to have that scrambled, Duane. I've blinked a decade at another local weekly institution, so I know what you mean.
