This little space began as a welcome to the newly printed paperback in November of 2020, with the intent that we would use it to track our progress and talk about and remember what it was like to start a newspaper from scratch.
Since then, we’ve printed 225 (if my math is right) editions of the paper. That means 225 Captain’s Logs. That’s a lot of musing, remembering, rambling. Usually, we’re looking for the humor in what is probably a tense morning of trying to finish the paper.
Sometimes, this space has been serious. Rarely. A couple times, the crew has pitched in and written for me, and those days we know were particularly busy for whatever reason.
In theory, we post these columns in our weekly email that goes out on Friday mornings to remind people there’s a whole new batch of stories.
Sometimes, people respond to the email with a joke, a “me too,” or some sweet note of support.
Sometimes, Monte reaches out to let me know he’s gotten the same email three weeks in a row, and my email program must have some sort of glitch. That’s actually operator error – like in operator forgets to change the message and set the email to resend. Embarrassing.
Sorry about the repeat – we’ve been “Only Mostly Dead” now for several several weeks in a row.
This week, we’re documenting the launch of another newspaper. We got The Pershing Post up and running. Launched online, and one of these days, if things go well, we’ll start printing that one, too.
The Silver State Chronicle is doing well. We need to get it updated and then start sending emails to the email subscribers, so they, too, will get the treat of repeated Captain’s Logs.
We’re keeping things going and hoping you’re enjoying the product, and while we keep the plates spinning and the balls in the air, we’ll be right here…
…Keeping you Posted.
