With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 134 - May 22: Whitla Brothers Alum

My brother David often sends me the link to Phillip Corbett's blog, in which Corbett critiques his fellow New York Times reporters on their grammar, style and usage in recent articles.  David and I share an interest in getting the written word right (although I know I fail often, putting in too many comas,,, as well as the dreaded dash ----) and while I enjoy the blog, I'm often left feeling entirely incompetent.  In this most recent entry, Corbett wrote "After months of nonstop carping about our missteps, here’s the latest, long-overdue sampling of sparkling prose from recent editions" and included writing by Scott Sayare.  Could it be?  The same Scotty Sayare who worked for Douglas and Stuart during the summer while at Stanford?  Indeed it is - now working for the Paris Bureau and winning the approval of Phillip Corbett.  Quite a feat - and due in no small part to his training at Whitla Brothers, I'm sure.
