One year

I "celebrated" my first year at the newspaper on Friday. The day saw me in the office for only an hour or two. I had my hours in, plus I had games to cover on the weekend, so I needed to be "off" most of the day.

I've definitely learned a great deal about journalism as the sports editor for the past year. While sports has been my responsibility the whole time I've been here, I've felt lately that I've really taken ownership of the sport pages.

The highlight of my day Friday was loading up my bike and going geocaching. I rode on a jeep trail, then ditched the bike and hiked the remainder of the way to my goal. Found the cache without a GPS. (I couldn't find it at home. LOL.)

It was a beautful--almost fall--day. The view from the peak where I found the cache was breathtaking. I ended up making the 5-mile round trip in less than three hours.
