Welcome!

Welcome to The Bullpen Daily, my new personal blog of daily ruminations on life as a small-town journalist.

I chose the name for two reasons. One is that, like most working journalists, I don't have an office, just a desk in the bullpen. I also chose the name because of my love of baseball.

I decided it was time to start a new personal blog because there's a chance that the site hosting my current blog may not be around much longer, so I wanted a place to land.

Now, a little about myself for those of you who don' t know me: I'm the crime and courts reporter for a small seven-day daily newspaper in central Kentucky, the Richmond Register. My wife, Janie, and I live in Lexington (for now) with our new daughter, Eliza.

My interests are baseball, photography (more on that later), Kentucky basketball, video games, technology and motorsports.

Expect to read a lot about all those things, as well as random links I find, story and photo links from work and the occasional self-indulgent whining.
