I will check out the website. Thanks! I don't know that it's in my wheelhouse, but I LOVE the idea of the goats discussing my future and my value to them! Let me ponder that ...

I also got my start in high school journalism, but my teacher was a jerk. Fortunately, the young editor of the weekly paper in town was not and hired me to write sports. He later became an editor at the Des Moines Register and had I been smart enough to accept his early professional offer, I...
