I miss "In It For The Money", now that The Chronicle is gone. Any chance you'll still occasionally write a column along the same lines, just not, you know, for the money?
David Erik Nelson
Thanks so much! Writing that column for the Chronicle (http://annarborchronicle.com/tag/in-i...) was a terrific opportunity--I got to meet Noam Chomsky and Miss America and Canadian political big-wigs and to deeply, regularly indulge my obtusely obsessive streak--but it was also terrifically grueling, both for me and for my editor (Dave Askins--without whom none of those pieces would have been even half what they were). I miss writing for Dave and Mary at the Chronicle, but also very much doubt I'll ever do anything quite like it again; too many stars would have to align in a manner that no just God would ever permit.
That said, I still write these sorts of essays (albeit with greater brevity and less tangled syntax) over on my blog (http://davideriknelson.com/sbsb/). They pop up at a rate of one or two per month, sometimes more, rarely less. If you want an occasional email heads-up linking to my latest posts, you can sign up here: http://eepurl.com/IZckf
