Do you enjoy a good book? Would you love to have a chance to talk to others who're reading the same book? Well, you may soon get that chance.

The Central Kentucky News-Journal is interested in sponsoring a community book group. With help from the Taylor County Public Library and the Taylor County Extension Office, the group would meet once every few months.

There would be no membership or mandatory attendance or even dues. Just a group of people getting together to talk about a great book.

One of the best parts of my job is being able to take photographs. The problem is, it's also one of the worst parts too.

I always take too many photos. That's great when it comes to work. If I take a photo and someone's eyes are closed or they were in the middle of talking, chances are I've got another photo where they're not. It also gives us plenty to choose from when designing newspaper pages.

However, that habit has spread to my family life as well - and that's why it's one of the worst parts.

February is Black History Month, probably as good a time as any to let Skip know I'm sorry even if the offense committed against him occurred nearly 50 years ago.

As many readers already know, the Central Kentucky News-Journal has been in the process of redesigning its Web site since late last year.

While it's still not all that it will be eventually, it's getting better all the time.

A few weeks ago, we added an archive search that allows readers to search the past several months' issues. We eventually hope to provide older archives, though that may be some time in reaching our Web site.
