Ended up spending 40 years (so far) as a newspaper reporter and, now, editor in Illinois and Florida. Would like to retire in about 3 years and TV looks very good to me (I visit frequently; it's only 110 miles from my house to Spanish Springs). With the state of our industry and my employer, though, I may be "freed" somewhat earlier than hoped.

Hi cybrgeezer,
I noticed that this is your very first post here, and I just wanted to tell you that I really like your screen name. (or should I write 'screenname'?)
Anyway, cybrgeezer is a wonderful name. It is kind of an oxymoron.
I know that I really need to be more careful about throwing words like 'oxymoron' around or somebody here might suspect that I am (or is it was?) an English major.
Welcome, cybrgeezer. And what a great name you have.
Boomer
