Those who came to the blog today as a result of reading my column in the paper may be disappointed because the footer on the piece promised "much more" than the capsules I gave you from a dozen interviews in the past week.

Well, there is "much more" here — just not on those particular interviews. Except for pictures. (Hey, did you notice one of the candidates I’ve written about responded? I’m hoping to see more of that as I institute this new feature.) Saturday turned out to be a little more hectic than I thought, so I was only able to finish one of them.

Part of my problem is keeping them short. Basically, I get started on them, and I end up writing something more or less column-length. I’ve got so much material I can share, and the blog (unlike the paper) imposes no length discipline. So I go "well, this is long enough, but why not share this… and this… and this was a good quote…" and before you know it, I’ve only completed one, instead of twelve.

So it’s going to take a little longer for me to catch up, as I try to strike that happy medium between giving you more, and keeping it short enough to get them all done.

Meanwhile, browse around and enjoy the rest of the blog. Follow the links. Get lost. Don’t mind the natives; they’re loud but harmless.

Happy Trails.
