New Blog Buddy Wanted
I miss the Weblog Invasion Tour.
I miss my little tifs with Mark Cuban and Seth Godin.
I miss having blogversations with Rick.
I don’t blog because I have something special to say. I blog because it helps me connect with people. In great, good and bad ways. But, they are all fun.
Who wants to be my new blog buddy?
PS. I have a feeling I’ll have a bunch of new blog buddies soon. I’m self-embargoed for now. But, am eager to share the big news.

In the coming term, committee members must find ways to stretch available resources to meet all students’ needs - a challenge that demands leaders with experience, energy and commitment. With that in mind, we recommend the following candidates:

WRTA taking away passengers’ rights
I am one of thousands of residents in and around Worcester who are dependent upon the city’s bus system for the majority of their travel needs. I was extremely disappointed (but not surprised) by the Worcester Regional Transit Authority’s latest plan to further reduce service levels on an already depleted fixed-route bus system. When is it going to stop? The service available today is a far cry from that which existed just six years ago. The countless reductions and resource reallocations since

Dumping is result of trash-bag costs
Worcester officials wonder why there’s such a big problem with illegal dumping in the city, then proceed to raise the price of trash bags from $5 to $7.70. That’s only five large or 10 small bags.
