5. It is my two year anniversary as an editor at Patch. I'm happy to be here, and enjoy covering Northborough. Most of you folks are quite swell. I always welcome feedback, tips, opinions, what have you. Are there subjects you'd like to see covered? Are there others that are unnecessary? Are we fair? Would you like to contribute? I'm going to use this anniversary to reiterate that I am very approachable, and you're more than welcome to email me, call me, Facebook me or Tweet me. If I don't respond, something went wrong, and you need to bug me again. I like bugs.
