I keep a little notebook with article and editorial ideas, and
there isn’t one single idea that struck me as worth writing an
Editor’s Note about. So rather than blather on aimlessly just to
fill space, I am going highlight a few recent stories that I think
are worth an extra mention. Of course this is not every story that
I enjoyed or felt was extra-special, because there are always a lot
of those. Feel free to post any you think are worthy of a special
mention.
