Ups and Downs

Lenore Devore


After the great experience in Tucson I headed home to Florida to great hugs from my husband and really long-tongued kisses from our dog, Ozzie Osborne (some of you had to suffer through my photos of the Aussie). I surprised my Irishman husband with a trip to Ireland in April, but that never occurred thanks to a volcano I cannot pronounce. And yes, that set the tone for the year personally -- everything fell short. But I'm so lucky in love it doesn't really matter -- we had fun anyway. During one long weekend spent in Central Florida we went indoor skydiving -- what an experience!


At work we went through many changes, ending the year saying goodbye to 10 long-time employees. It was difficult but has set the company up for the future in many ways, some of which might open doors for you all (wink, wink and check our website often -- www.theledger.com). Our executive editor, my boss for 15 years and the man responsible for bringing me to The Ledger, announced his retirement in mid-December, opening the door for a possible promotion. Stay tuned on that one -- my name is floating around in the hat.


Happy New Year to you all!
