Scrapblog editor needs very long nap

It's a sad and traumatic time at the scrapblog editor's employer and favorite newspaper, the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Gifted, gracious people are being laid off, reporting beats that made us a great Midwestern newspaper (like the architecture beat) are being killed off and other sad and final things are happening. This drama, also playing out at other newspapers nationwide, marks the end of the classic American newspaper, and is a melancholy prelude to an uncertain future. The scrapblog editor needs to take a little time off from being merry and productive here to deal with it all. Back next week, when the dust settles and the scrapblog editor feels chipper again.
