Even as a lowly newspaper reporter, to do justice to life you must write of more than public board meetings and similar crimes against nature and humanity. You must write of bigger things: pirates on inland lakes, women mean enough to thrash mountain lions, windmill farms that shift the earth, multi-million dollar discoveries in old barns and genetically engineered freshwater lobsters. You must issue commandments to children, answer their questions regarding organ replacement, advise young men on how to grow old, but not up, contemplate the likelihood of decapitation during a homecoming dubbing, and address the issues of death, funerals and old people getting married. You must cover a lot of ground from the renovation of 18th Century oak tables to the potential perils of even thinking about nominating a young woman for the opportunity to win an extreme makeover. Motel room shouting matches, backyards inhabited by tribes of pygmies and deer hunters with gas must all be written about. For these are the things of life.L.
