Odds and ends, 8/9/07

Every once in a while I check the online journalism jobs listings to see what's going on in the business. I see there's a growing international news organization looking for English speakers to work in its office in to work in its Washington, D.C., office.

Let's see. A change in ownership of The Herald-Dispatch is imminent. If the new owners don't like me, or if I simply cannot get along with them, it may pay to be ready to move.

But al-Jazeera? No thanks.

I came home today with a CD of Johnny Cash songs. A teenager of my acquaintance looked at it and said Cash wasn't a country singer. This particular teen identifies country music with Garth Brooks and Shania Twain.

*Sigh* Kids today truly need an education in the classics.
