Welcome to their world. the world the backshop gremlins, that is...or as they refer to themselves...the Three Stooges – or Winkin’, Blinkin’ and Nod. (“Magicians’ is the term we prefer.)
Actually, they’re the mice that could very well have been ‘playing’ while the ‘Cat’ was away...but in this case, the mice got busy and finished off the newspaper instead.
To explain, one of our writers was away on vacation last week, and the other was just getting into her week’s routine when a family emergency called her away.
So they formed a game plan with what was available, and the gremlins took over. And much to the surprise of some, and the delight of others, they essentially finished this week’s paper in record time..Ah, the magic of newspaper – and winging it!!
(Actually it’s more like creative genius, but we can’t tell them that!)
So the piece that started out as a disclaimer had to become a big thank you to the three magicians, Kathie, Meghan and Kyle (the new guy)...who have fewer than three years experience all told but dug deep and found whatever was necessary to make it work.
Bravo, guys, congrats and thank you for rising to the occasion and pulling it off in style!
(And to our faithful readers, thanks for your understanding. Hopefully we’ll have everything back to normal in the very near future. And our apologies to anyone who was expecting to see something that didn’t appear. At least now perhaps you’ll know why.)
And to those of you who prefer a paper such as this one, we’ll seriously consider some changes.
