If this were full-time, I'd be all over it.

 

Is a prerequisite having worked for the Free Press? ;D ;D

 

Considering who your boss would be, I imagine you'd be an immediate hire. Heh.

Seriously, though, Mark's a good dude - my former boss.

 

I should say who your boss would LIKELY be. Not certain.

 

You full-time at the Tulsa World now?

 

No, sirree. I'm still freelancing about.

 

Gotchya. Thought I recognized your byline from when I was in town visiting my folks recently.

 

Very good gig. Hopefully DMN adds a few more sports positions, but good to see them loosening the strings a bit.
