My former employer, the Star Tribune, is a damn good paper. I've been engrossed in a multi-part seriesthey're doing about a teenage boy, Reece Meikle, who died of a very mysterious blood disease. It's a fascinating mystery, and yet agonizingly sad.
I haven't been following that story, but as a transplant from the Minneapolis suburbs to the land of the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette, I have a whole new appreciation for the Star Tribune (and their whole page of comics).
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.

Oh, I've been following that story, too, and it's just heartbreaking.
I've been reading it too...and as a mom of two boys 13 and 9, I have cried every day this week.
Oh my gosh. That's so sad.
