Owning a Blog

Posted in Precious Dawn

This is something I wrote in NJ while still there the first time. I was thinking of my blog here when I wrote it:

 

" I cannot tell [you] what it feels like to have a blog one day, and be in the news (your family's tragedy) the next.

To see the papers and feel some peace because your family is not front page in them.

To do a search on your engine for your sister- and get results.

To see public comments to news articles surrounding your sister.

To see comments from your desperately sad brother."

 

That is all I wrote on that subject at the time. It is still indescribable. I consider blogs to be first and foremost, the new free press. I never did like sensationalism; now I can say I am really against it.

 

The New York Times got something wrong.

 

I also realized the other day: it's not over. We have trials to go through. That means more newspaper articles.

 

The trials are not expected to begin for 1-2 years: court schedules.

I just wanted to stop by to tell you I've been thinking of you. I haven't left many comments recently, but I'm out here and praying for you.

Dawn's Favorite Post



I love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, the scenery and invigorating climate. But most of all because of her indomitable people. They are a race of pioneers who almost beggared themselves for others.

If the spirit of liberty should vanish from the rest of the Union, and our institutions should languish, it all could be restored by the generous store held by the people in this brave little State of Vermont.
