GMLc column defunct

Pluffmudders won't find GMLc's brand of local news and lore in the daily paper anymore. The Good Morning Lowcountry column has been dumped from 2B, it's little home since 2000, as of last Saturday. Couple of reasons for this. 1) We're in a hiring freeze and I am needed to help edit Community News. 2) We shrank the paper in width, and 2B is needed for runover copy, jumps of stories, other stories, etc. But, as I've been told, this was not so much a real estate grab as a warm body grab.From my point of view, GMLc might have run its course. I'm OK with turning my attention to other priorities at the paper. Regular readers have been e-mailing and phoning in their disappointment, and I appreciate that.  But I'll be also working on a book proposal of essays, column outtakes, etiquette, critters, Lowcountry pronunciations, Lowcountry history and other bits of wit and wisdom from the GMLc material. If bloggers who read GMLc in the past have any favorite stuff, let me know. Thanks for the fun. I'll continue to blog here.
