Great to "hear" from you after quite a few years. I saw your name quoted as the source for a story in the Trib, and asked myself, "Could it be…?" I'd like to catch up with you. Let's find some time to talk--either in person, or by phone. I'm one of the three (or maybe four) Tom Keefes in Gurnee. Let me know if you want to get together, and we'll figure out a way to make it happen. Marcel, it IS you! Great to “hear” from you after quite a few years.

It may have been reduced to an undetectable level, but believe me its still there. I know I suffer from the same affliction. Every now and then while typing a release or setting up a news conference I can feel it oozing thru my veins trying to multiply... Unfortunately, I also no longer have the time to enjoy a late morning to afternoon affair with a Sunday paper. So I am reduced to reading sections over the course of several days. This is the strategy I use for Sundays Tribune. First I read the local news (part of my job), then the national news section. Features, commentary and columnists come after that and are marked for later reading. Skip home and garden, auto section, real estate etc. Its a great strategy, and one day it might actually work. bada bump Just discovered your blog. Great to see you alive and kicking!

I find that the Sunday Tribune still has a wealth of information that you can't find on the web, or I find it easy to read it in ink than surf the web. I too find it difficult to find time so I try to keep to the following schedule: Metro Sports Main Transportation (Cars) Travel Arts & Leisure Q Business Home & Garden Real Estate Now I won't read all the articles, just the ones that grab my attention. Works like a charm everytime. Back in my NYC days, when I got the Sunday Times or was at a place that got the paper, I followed a similar pattern, however never getting through as many articles because they used biggers words.
