And with a literal meaning that sounds appropriate only for evening use, it results in some awkward writing. “At the end of the day, we are only human.” Then what are we in the morning? “At the end of the day it’s all worth it to her.” She feels differently at lunchtime? “At the end of the day, we are neighbors.” Before 5 p.m., we are not?

This place has been home to the Sooner faithful for 5 years, the roof deck is awesome in September! Best happy hour in midtown --2x1 on everything from 2-6. Try to get Patrick for your bartender. The best--NYC lad from upper east side, way cool and plugged in. My man. And he's my neighbor on UES.

What was your first job as a journalist?

If paper boy counts, then that. If not, I was a reporter for the Tri-Town News in Jackson, N.J. - I started when I was 16.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Oh yes. In fact, it's how I learned to type almost 100 words a minute, give or take 20.

How is social media changing news?

Finding sources, gathering photos, telling stories - we're doing it in new and innovative ways. I love the changes.
