Thanks Greg, but I'm afraid I'm NOT smarter than the average bear, in this case. What an overwhelming day. So many things thrown at me at once, from meeting city officials to trying to learn the computer system, even to figuring out what the hell is mine (they switched my desk 4 times). Plus it's a million miles from where I live, though the community I'll be covering is just down the road from where I live.

You can't believe the incredible amount of work I'm going to have to generate. Basically, I have my own newspaper. I'm responsible for filling it. I'm used to having assignments handed to me, and that doesn't fly at this place.

I dunno. I'm not as hot as Brenda Starr and not as intrepid as Lois Lane, so I'm severely doubting if I made the right move.

<sigh> thanks for the pep talk, anyway!
