Best news of 2008 to date

Steve Young's brother Hank has written to say that Steve is being discharged from the hospital today.

That's all the information I have, but I assume that we will be hearing from Steve himself or other members of the family about when and where we can see him, talk to him, visit him.

For now, this news is enough.

About John McIntyre

John McIntyre, mild-mannered editor for a great metropolitan newspaper, has fussed over writers’ work, to sporadic expressions of gratitude, for thirty years. He is The Sun’s night content production manager and former head of its copy desk. He also teaches editing at Loyola University Maryland. A former president of the American Copy Editors Society, a native of Kentucky, a graduate of Michigan State and Syracuse, and a moderate prescriptivist, he writes about language, journalism, and arbitrarily chosen topics. If you are inspired by a spirit of contradiction, comment on the posts or write to him at john.mcintyre@baltsun.com.
