What a day. We've taxed our news staff to the limit keeping up with all of the news this week. Let us know what you think of Saturday's exhaustive print coverage. I also commend to you our online video coverage of today's events.

I'm still trying to catch up on all of your comments. I expect you'll have plenty more as the days unfold. We will follow every possible lead.

My older sister flies in Saturday for a visit from Tulsa, where she's a longtime teacher. I plan to go ahead with the vacation I had previously scheduled to show her around South Texas. Of course, I'll be checking in regularly on this big story. In the electronic age, you're never too far away.

I know the newsroom will be in the good hands of managing editor Thomas Martinez. If you have any hot tips or comments, please route them first to Tom. I may be slow in responding next week.

  • Sailor,

    I brought up the same idea a couple of weeks ago. While chasing all of the breaking news, we haven't had a chance to gather all of our past stories onto a special Web page, but we plan to do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Thanks, Dig. You're definitely right about keeping your priorities straight. Family is much more important than any job, even one you love.

  • Don't forget to leave Tyler your cell # just in case!
