Well well well! So we meet again. Long time no see. It was almost a year ago that my last post was written in the ol' "Bald Avenger" blog. A sports-related blog which had a few readers but really hit the back-burner. The idea of a news/sports/anything-related blog had been bandied about for a while and after some careful consideration, it's been decided. "The Bald Avenger" has left us for greener pastures. In his spot, please welcome "The Vulture".
A little history on "The Vulture". It's a nickname I've sort of accepted after covering a court case in Calgary a few months back. The family of one of the people charged in a local murder didn't like the fact that the media was in the room for the woman's sentencing. I overheard one of them say "the vultures are circling". Which is all well and good. I posted the quote on Twitter and a couple of days later, it was a name that stuck.
Moving on. What can you expect to see in this blog? A little bit of everything. One of my first posts will likely be about the recent provincial election in Alberta. We may talk about crime. We may talk about issues in other cities I've been fortunate enough to work in during my illustrious career in broadcasting. We may talk about sports. We may talk about what it's like being a "big, bad" reporter. But I also want to allow this to be another conduit for you to ask questions and get answers about some of the things that I see on a day-to-day basis. So if you would like to see me write about a particular subject, feel free to leave a comment on the page and I'll do my best to accomodate you.
How often will I be posting? I would like to do it as often as possible. Once every few days maybe? Depends on when the inspiration visits. The more people who read it, the more often I'll likely post to keep all of you hooked.
There you have it, my friends. Welcome to the start of what could become a beautiful relationship. You. Me. This computer screen. Welcome to the madness!
