My Award Acceptance Speech

For the past four and a half years, I have been writing this blog and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

I honestly don’t do it to receive any kind of acclaim, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t nice to be recognized…

This weekend, I will be traveling to Columbus to receive my Ohio SPJ Award for Second Place, Best Weblog. It’s my second one in a row.

Now some people might actually be bummed with second place, but when you consider the talented journalists I’ve been losing to from much larger papers with much larger staffs, I’ll take it.

So since there are no acceptance speeches for second—or first for that matter—let me say a few words here…

Thanks to all the wonderful network publicists who make it possible for me to do this…

Thanks to my editor, the fabulous Andrea Copley-Smith, and to everyone in IT…

And most of all, thanks to you, my faithful readers, without whom there would be no “Stay Tuned”…
