With joy I greeted a message from a good friend. He lives in South Lyon, where I had an article slated for publication. It finally came out in this week's South Lyon Herald, though it has been online at Observer & Eccentric's hometownlife.com.
This of course is good news to me and the man I wrote about, Chuck Theile. I passed along the news in the morning, and quietly went about my day: mundane shopping at Meijer and jotting notes on a legal pad--the exciting life of freelance.
Like a gradual wave, the news began to pour in from Chuck and online. Searching for my article, I found it three separate times, cataloged under different cities and their respective publications. I found this odd, but thought little of it. Then Chuck sent me a reply. He knew that the article had come out...and it had come out in several papers.
I was overjoyed. That explained the multiple entries on Observer and Eccentric's website.
Then this came in:
"FRONT PAGE OF WAYNE-WESTLAND'S PAPER."
All the while, I wondered whether or not to put a cereal bar in my son's lunch this coming Monday, and dated photos with my fiance from the past four months for our photo-albums.
News, it seems, comes in waves, and life never stops being strange and funny all at once.
That's all from Elliott at the Kitchen Table, ready for a road trip to see these newspapers with my own eyes.
