Blog Sisters’ reputation is spreading. We are one of four group weblogs cited in an article by Steve Outing at Poynter.org. My thanks to b!X for emailing me about it.
According to the main page of the weblog article, Poynter’s Steve Outing also is a columnist for Editor & Publisher Online. Recently, he wrote a column suggesting that newspapers give weblogs to all editorial staff (read the column here), which generated considerable discussion and controversy.

Gary Turner’s at it again. And b!X and I join the ranks of Turner spoofs.

At least we don’t get into the kind of trouble this local guy did.
As the story goes,
On the Internet and telephone chat lines he [Kevin Gudz] went by the name ‘Sir Kevin,’ and his alleged fantasies included kidnapping a woman and bringing her to his home where she would become his consenting bondage sex slave.
Gudz allegedly is not disputing that he drove to Columbia County to abduct a woman. But he insists it was part of an act and not a random encounter.
However, the 43-year-old Clermont woman who was riding her bike alone along Route 31 in southern Columbia County on Saturday afternoon is a mother and wife and was not the person Gudz alleged to have met online, according to law enforcement officials.
‘The victim in this was a complete stranger to the defendant,’ said Columbia County District Attorney Beth Cozzolino.
Talk about embarrassing moments!!

I can breathe again. The splints are out (now that was a yucky process!) and so far so good. I have to go back next week and get the passageways scoped to make sure it’s all healing the way it’s supposed to. Thanks, you all, for all the good vibes sent my way. You’re the best!!
