I'm back. After a month in China and almost a week with jet-lag, it's time to resume this conversation.
I will write about China, of course; it was an adventure. But I'm at an awkward stage - in between the freshness of new experiences and a framework in which to fit them.
This morning's Albuquerque Journal suffices, though, to get me going. In the Arts section, on F3, Dan Mayfield reports that Josh Franco is the new director of the Downtown arts collective. Former director Jon McConville, he writes, "handed the reigns to Franco."
So Dan made a careless error. How come it wasn't caught? In the first instance, I suppose it eluded the spell-check. But where was the editor?
I wish newspapers would rein in the galloping illiteracy that mars them these days.
