I had lunch yesterday at the Riverside Market with two old friends from the Sun-Sentinel (one down from DC) and a former bookseller who used to hang out with folks from the newsroom.

As ex-newspaper people do, we drank beer (Swamp Ape getting an enthusiastic thumbs up), remembered colleagues, cursed managing editors (old m.e. wounds heal slowly). I told the story of the m.e. who, when she was at another paper, reportedly said in a news meeting, after the photo editor had announced that two polar bear cubs had just been born in the city zoo: "Nobody wants to see pictures of polar bear cubs."

On the way out, Rob mentioned a reporter who was no longer with us. He said that at his funeral a colleague got up and began his eulogy: "I was the last in a long line of people who thought they were Bill's editor."
