I'm not one to say goodbye. I like to keep all my friends nearby like a mother chicken and her hens.
Or more like Alltel — keep everything in my circle.
When I left the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune today for the last time, I didn't say goodbye; there weren't tears.
By the numbers, there was a hug and two handshakes.
People know I'm not going far, both literally and figuratively.
I will be creating a philanthropy-supported local news organization, a mere mindset change away from my former employer.
I know there will be bourbons, beers, and lunches in the future with my good friends, the ones left behind, who will know I am there.
It should be noted that I worked until 9 p.m. on my last day. Nothing like a 12 hour day to prove how much Gannett loves you because of all the extra work handed out from the furloughs.
