TCB > November 2007

Well, we knew it was too good to last: KWMU's Tom Weber has accepted a reporter post at Minnesota Public Radio, to begin just after the start of 2008. He'll be back in familiar morning-drive territory, as a general assignment reporter. He was curiously mum about any interesting tidbits, so all we know for sure is: Yogi the cat travels north, too; this will be Tom's third position with a direct supervisor named "Bill"; and he swiped one of Garrison Keillor's famed red sneakers from a dressing room while in the Twin Cities for his interview at the station.

Watch out, Weber; we hear Keillor's got a nasty temper behind that Everyman bonhomie...

In a greater blow, St. Louis' #1 live, non-broadcast talk show is now without a co-host. Again.

Man-about-blogosphere Thomas Crone has launched a new spot to keep track of the comings, goings and goalings of his young soccer charges. We have been greatly amused by tales of some of their past exploits, so you might want to keep up, too.

STL expat Patrick Landewe shows up, in photographic and culinary representations, in this article from the NY Times about his current day job, keeping the Saugerties Lighthouse on the Hudson River. (Another local boy made good, Steve Smith, visited him there recently...)
