    I made it into the newspaper

    This is kind of more about athletics, but I thought it fit a bit more in the "general" area since it's more about an X Marks kiltie (me) than about athletics, itself.

    it's a really nice article which just happens to be full of mistakes. Oh, well!

    Congratulations on the article! Funny article though, sounds like you are going up to Redwoods National to uproot and throw trees and rocks while later you'll be at a hardware store flining hammers.
