I have been the nosy sort who loves to watch what the world is up to since my eyes focused after birth.
I have been a working journalist since 1980, when my newly won liberal arts degree got me a job at a weekly newspaper in South Carolina. In those days, we actually still used typewriters and laid out the pages by hand. The pay was low and has not gotten all that much better since.
But at least now we have computer writing programs that tell us as soon as we make a spelling mistake, cameras that can erase bad shots as soon as we take them and a Web site where we can post news online as soon as it happens!
Still, the bottom line remains the same. I'm still the nosy sort who loves to watch what the world is up to. Join me.
