One of the nice things about writing a column (or a blog) is that you get to brag a little. Consider it a perk of the job.
Last week I was honored when the California Newspaper Publishers Association declared me a blue ribbon finalist in its Better Newspapers Contest, declaring Second Thoughts one of the best columns in the state (for a paper of the Tracy Press' circulation).
There, I'm done tooting my own horn. Now, back to business.

Wow Jon, good for you! Not surprising with your writing skill and creative turn-of-thought.
Have you thought of entering a chef contest? You'd slam the door on all competitors. Throw my hat in the ring as a judge.
