How was your weekend?

I saw Dark Knight Rises. None of it made sense, but I was vastly entertained.

I returned to the editing desk (and night shifts) today after nearly four months of reporting.

My time as a reporter was always meant to be a temporary assignment. I’ll still be pitching in with stories for the print edition here and there, and I’ll be maintaining my weekly online column on lfpress.com (as well as this blog) going forward.

Reporting was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who sent in their feedback and took the time to submit tips in the form of story ideas. And now to craft some headlines . . .

How was your weekend? Did you get out to Sunfest? What did you get up to?

I worked all weekend. All the reporters here have to work weekend shifts in a rotation that spreads the pain around.

On another note, what do you think of the plan to rename the John Labatt Centre Budweiser Gardens?

I remember when they renamed the SkyDome, one radio announcer refused to call it the Rogers Centre. All he would say when reporting ball scores was that the Blue Jays played in a “corporately named” stadium.

My solution would have been to re-christen it the Rogers SkyDome, which would have satisfied the corporate bosses and traditionalists too. It’s that simple.

How are you spending your warm weekends? How are you going to keep cool this week?
