Writing a column about neighborhood associations and neighborhood news.

Instagram.

When you can't think of how to start your story or article, imagine what you'd say to a friend about it on a short phone call.

I'm not picky.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
In the kitchen with my daughter.
