About to hit the road again. Seems I spend most of my time traveling. So be it. The nomadic journalist has perhaps the best professional life of all. the next couple of weeks are a case in point: Las Vegas first of all, to cover a big fight. How many days have I spent in Sin City over the past eight years? I couldn't even begin to count. I have no idea how many times I've sat ringside either; must be close to 100. There is no shortage of sports fans who would surrender a limb, or chop one off somebody else, for such a privilege.
What I'm really excited about, though, is the week after, when I head to Tombstone, Arizona for several days to research an article for the Washington Post Magazine on the history of the town and, of course, specifically the Gunfight at the OK Corral. It's a completely new subject for me, and I love being a rookie, coming to a story fresh and learning all I can - particularly one that I enjoy personally as much as this. Pretty much a dream assignment.
