One of the joys of my work is the opportunity to read new articles each month about a variety of topics. I look forward to learning new things and the fact that all of our writers are passionate about their particular area of interest ensures that I always enjoy what they have to say.
It doesn’t matter whether I am reading the latest automotive review in Passing Lane by Charles Donaldson, a stock market forecast by Damien Couture in Market Watch, or about the history of Jazz in Dr. Anderson’s Notes on Key music column, I always find much to appreciate.
Apart from the subject matter, the quality of the writing makes all of our columnists’ work a pleasure to read—something equally valid whether it is Paul Hirsch writing about the Giants in Off the Bench or Peggy Fallon offering up a new recipe for apricot pie in Market Fresh.
From time to time, all our writers inject a bit of humor into their articles but over the past five-plus years it has been the responsibility of Michael Copeland to poke our readers in the ribs every month. If you follow Mike’s column, you know that feeling of anticipation as you wonder what smile-evoking spin Michael has placed on some otherwise common-place topic.
While many of our writers, including Peggy Fallon, Bob Fish, Trina Swerdlow and Anita Venezia are accomplished authors, we are excited to announce the addition this month of yet another ALIVE columnist to that list — our own Michael Copeland — with the publishing of his book, ALIVE & Kickin’: Sideways Views from an Upright Guy.
As always, I hope you enjoy this month’s issue of ALIVE — and if you yearn for more rib pokin’, be sure to order a copy of ALIVE & Kickin’, too!
