In case you're following me through a news media list, I ended 45 years of newspapering on Wednesday, at my request. The first 35 under the "Star and Tribune" roof I'm sitting on (now a park). The last 10 in a building bonded to the Capella Tower, poking up in the distance behind me.

I arrive as a damaged super senior from Tweetland with no followers. Which I presume (as we old folks do often) means I’m talking to myself.
*I’ve learned rap song that was demeaned by me Friday was β€œBrass Monkey”, Beastie Boys, 1986.
Now, forward to β€œThe Bridge of Death.”
