Illuminating the sky between gray clouds like a little boy flaunting a flashlight, it shocked the darkness into view, but only intermittently.

I doubt there are many eyes on this, but that's not going to stop me today. Words for thousands or words for one still have meaning.

Mary's delightful brother and sister-in-law took ... http://youngandthewireless.com/boom-towns/2009/06/09/the-eagle-has-landed/ It's Saturday in Syracuse, and the bags are packed and ready to go. Mary and I arrived home safely from Nixa, Missouri, the first town in this adventure that we're calling The Young and the Wireless. Tomorrow we leave for Eagle, Colorado, where we (and this blog) will be coming ... http://youngandthewireless.com/boom-towns/2009/06/06/go/ Hello Eagle, Colorado! We've never met you, but we'd like to. We're Jen and Mary, and we're a pair of journalists on our way out west. We're coming to Eagle to do a project on something worth talking about. Not disasters or epidemics or shootings, but something we think matters. ... http://youngandthewireless.com/boom-towns/2009/04/15/hello-world/
