Kelly and I saw this touching story on CBS Sunday Morning today. We laughed and almost cried with joy at the humorous spirit of the newspaperman, Hal Wright. He was a writer after our own hearts. We love what we do at 4 Cats, Ink: touching people's lives and having fun doing it. We hope when we are ninety years old we still are.
Hal founded the newspaper Sierra Booster in Loyalton, California. Until his death in 2000, he was the paper's only reporter, editor, photographer, salesman, and delivery man. Some of his subscribers were so remote he had to deliver the bi-weekly paper by airplane, dropping each issue out the window as he flew. Some papers hit their intended target still rolled up and intact, while others floated slowly to earth section by section. That's funny.
That sort of devotion inspires us, and we hope you give 4 Cats, Ink a chance to show you why our company tagline is "Passion on the Page." We think heroes like Hal Wright would be proud of us.
As Hal would say, "4 Cats, Ink: serving your writing needs from now until further notice."
If you appreciate the humor in the use and misuse of the English language, you will enjoy our friend Bob McDonnell's blog, Words by Bob. Bob is a freelance writer living in Loveland, Colorado.
He wrote a gracious review of We Met at Starbucks, which you can read here. Besides being a great guy and a self-proclaimed Renaissance man, we both have connections to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. (As does Ashton Kutcher, by the way.)
We encourage visitors to check out author Dee Marie's website. Kelly met Dee through LinkedIn, where Kelly introduced her connections to our first-ever article of funny movie reviews. We tickled Dee's funny bone so much she encouraged us to make it a regular feature of our website. The concept grew into Four Cent Movie Reviews.
We are not sure why Dee finds us so funny. It's a little bit scary, actually. But we're glad to offer her a "gigglesnorting" good time.
Eric purchased her book, Sons of Avalon a while back and has just begun to read it. We are lucky he did, because we found our long-lost donut punch card from church marking page 23. Life is good.
Eric and Kelly continue their series of essays on the HBO miniseries, John Adams.

On a recent Jeep adventure, Eric struck a tree with his Jeep deep inside Pike National Forest. Luckily for him, no harm was done to either the vehicle or the tree. Good thing, because he was so remote only his own search and rescue team would have been able to reach him had he become stranded. That would have been embarrasing.
