And Now, a Letter from the Editor…

by Joey deVilla on February 17, 2005

From the look of it, this is going to be one of those years that I’ll

look back upon and say “Whoa, I was pretty busy back then!”. Hence the

shortage of more personal “Hey, look at what I did” entries. It’s not

that I haven’t been up to interesting stuff; it’s just that those

entries take the most time and energy, and those are at a premium. I

find it far, far easier and quicker to write op-ed entries and point

you to interesting things on both the web and in real life. I plan to

get back to writing some “It Happened to Me” stories soon, but in the

meantime, I hope you’re still enjoying the sort of posts I’ve been

making of late.

Betcha don’t know what the “op” in “op-ed” stands for.

Lots of thoughts ran through my head when I read this post and I would write them but I really don’t want the world to see them; the conclusion to which I came is that we are totally well-matched.

*smooch*

:) Well, if you’re the editor, you should be writing editorials, not op-eds.

Yeah, I’m misusing the term the way it’s popularly misused (for those readers who aren’t familiar with newspaper terms, “op-ed” is derived from “OPposite the EDitorial page”; it’s just that these pieces tend to be personal opinions). Sort of like “gentle learning curve”, which I sometimes use when I know that the audience isn’t mathematically inclined.

Why perpetuate the misuse? What’s next, misusing “it’s”? Aim higher, AG!

Oh, don’t mind me. I just have a something up my whatnot today.

Love your blog. Keep writing.
