Apparently, my criticism of Obama a couple of week’s ago wasn’t strong enough for my conservative neighbors. Check out this letter to the editor from the Packet.
It’s been a strange week for me, subbing for John Saccenti as the editor of the South Brunswick Post and The Cranbury Press — the two papers I managed for the last 10 years. It was an interesting experience. Four months after handing the papers over and becoming online editor, I get to see what I’ve been missing.
And yes, there are things I miss — such as page design, especially of Page 1 — but there is a lot more that I don’t miss. So the extra work this week, which left me little time to blog, came at a good time.
I’m off tomorrow, though I’ll probably blog, and then back to the office on Monday, with a renewed sense that what I’m now doing is what I should be doing at this moment.
I’ve been doing some investigative work on my family, trying to find all the strands of the Kalet diaspora that scattered the descendents of Yitzhak Isaac Kaletsky from coast to coast and Israel.
We’ve connected with four branches of six (two others did not have any kids) and I’m still trying to link with the other two, using Facebook, other social networking, random Web searches, etc. (More on this in a later post.)
Which is where I found this — part of a poster series that the South Brunswick Library created to encourage reading featuring local folks. Guess who this local folk is?
So, yes, I’ve been immortalized on a poster — and, no, it is not on the Post Office wall.
I thought I’d share this photo of me at the sound board, disc-jockeying for WEHR — East Halls Radio at Penn State — taken sometime between 1980 and 1982. I was probably spinning some New York punk (one of my regular programs was called “Live from CBGBs”) or blues, which was one of my passions back then.
It was a fun gig that I reprised during my year at Middlesex County College (1985-1986). I kind of miss the radio thing.
