Andy becomes a Paper Boy

"Looks like you got yourself one heck of a paper route," says the loving brother to his plad-clad-tad, his inferior in only age, who is now employed by the voice of the Rocky Mountains.

I will be working over the course of the semester at the Denver Post. I'll be helping out in the preps department, high school sports, formatting and inputing scores of games. I'll also get the opportunity to write, short pieces on selected games and events, that will be put into the physical paper as well as online in digital form.

After 5 straight semesters of working for the grand total of 'experience' this will be nice change of pace.

I've see the inside of a radio station (104.3 The Fan), the workings of the two biggest television stations in the Denver market (9NEWS and CBS 4 Denver) and now I will get the taste of a newspaper. The art of the written word has been preached, prodded like a stock show steer, and beaten into me. Now I get to see it in action, where it all began, back to the beginning of journalism.

I'm happy to be here, excited about the opportunity, and now all I need it seems now is a guide so I don't get lost on this unimpeded rambling of mine.
