I finally got all of EdgyTim's Conference Calls done. It took me a while to write up the NCIC Lincoln call because I could get no info about Mendota. I was surprised to not see articles on the team from the News-Tribune, or even the Mendota Reporter. To see what I wrote, go to EdgyTim.com.

Today is work day.

Thursday I am meeting with, and yelling at, my sports apprentice for the Chronicle. Story ideas were due today and he didn't show up, or send any ideas. So I'm just going to assign him some things. Hopefully he can write a Golf article. I'm doing a Volleyball article, and I already went to their game at Clinton CC to take a look. Ideas were discussed with the staff. My photo page thing was smashed. Upcoming schedule and Conference Standings were okayed as item fillers. A new thing called "Cougar Confidental" a combination of Steve Tucker's blog and Rockford's Quick Shots was approved. Jon and I would be working together on this.

Thursday Night Football: Rockford Lutheran battles Rockford Christian Life. It'll be the second time I see RCL play on week one. The last game was on a Saturday.

While I was at work on Monday I was thinking about my future as a college journalist. Last week, I wrote about how the Voyager could have been exclusively Online. Boy it wouldn't hurt to revive the Voyager as a revolutionay concept in Illinois Community College journalism, now would it? Although I would be a dead lock for Editor-in-Chiefship, my web skills are weak (just look at NISB). Then I could be advisor at graduation! However, Assistant Instructor of Journalism is not in my plans.

Time for bed.
