Baseball Is Life: The Fork

Related Topics: Concord

What you see here is a fork in the road. These are two articles I wrote for the Concord Monitor of Concord, New Hampshire. I was three weeks out of college and on a job interview. What better place for a political science major just before a Presidential election year? How better to launch a career of columning?

They sent me out to cover to local stories. I watched local politicians eat eggs and sat very quietly for a police press conference. I asked a question about NATO at the politics thing. Then I went back to the press room, typed up the stories, purposely tanked the interview, and drove very slowly through my own story of the sobriety checkpoint after watching The Phantom Menace in a theater for the fourth time while downing a fuzzy navel.
