Hey Dad,
No new posts for a while now huh? Hope you're just busy and not giving up, I think this is a cool idea. There is a guy I read on ESPN named Rob Neyer who was a columnist but they assigned him a blog last year and he admits that he has had trouble figuring out how to get his ideas out in Blog form, rather than in a long column. He is still in a transitional style (http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?name=neyer_rob is the address).

Also, www.wonkette.com is another good one.

This is a kind of column, too. Wish I had more time to develop it.
