sorry for the blog-silence

i swear i'll get into the rhythm of this thing at some point. i've just been bogged down, as of late, with work at the paper, particularly the work of trying to come up with original pitches. turns out that i don't know as much about this city as i thought/hoped i did, so i'm not stumbling across much of anything in the way of scoops. if any of you see something, say something!

and sorry about not having an abe-written story today. i worked on a self-pitched story that didn't really pan out. maybe someday it'll be significant, and i'll have all the contacts!

in the meantime, read fellow-intern ross goldberg's FANTASTIC top-billing story on the billions of dollars being lost in new york pension funds—heads will roll as a result of this thing, he discovered it all on his lonesome, he reported the hell out of it, and it's all due to a style of number-crunching reporting that i could never really do. so props to him.
