On Friday, June 7, the Smoky Mountain News celebrated its twentieth anniversary. The parking lot beside the building was equipped with tents, the rain held off until the tag end of the party, beer, wine, and sandwiches were served, and those who attended, both the staff and the people from the town, enjoyed the pleasure of reminiscing about those two decades and meeting some new friends.
In the article below, I remember my twenty years of writing reviews and calculate that I have put out over 600,000 words doing so. At the party, attorney and long-time acquaintance Frank Queen approached me and said, "So, 600,000 words, eh? Just think how many millions of words you've read!"
What a great point. I wish I'd thought to include that in the review.
Anyway, an ongoing pleasure for the reasons listed in this link. Copy and past, please.
