A chip off the old block
from the editor
T
Assistant
editor Quinn
ODAY Towers has been the site of much refl ection of late as we ponder the
future of Oregon Coast TODAY in an uncertain world. (Spoiler alert: watch
this space next week for very exciting news. We’re not going anywhere).
But amid all the spreadsheets and forecasting, there was room for some misty-
eyed refl ection, too. Th is nostalgic reverie was triggered by the sight of assistant
editor Quinn wearing a Transformers sweater that my mother knitted for me
when I was a kid. Th is, in turn prompted a trans-Atlantic request for photos of
myself at the tender age of seven so that we could do a little comparison.
And while I am hugely thankful to my wife, Krista, for bringing some sturdy
genes to the table and sparing young Quinn the misery of chunky-framed
eyeglasses, I am mostly struck by how happy both these kids look.
During such a time of upheaval, it pays to count one’s blessings. As I
contemplate my life on the Oregon Coast, I fi nd many. Whether you are a fellow
coastie or just passing through, I hope that you fi nd many also.
