If you're wondering about the title...

This blog's title springs from one of my favorite movies: The Shipping News.

Billy: "It's finding the center of your story, the beating heart of it, that's what makes a reporter. You have to start by making up some headlines. You know: short, punchy, dramatic headlines. Now, have a look, what do you see? "
[Points at dark clouds at the horizon]
Billy: "Tell me the headline. "
Quoyle: "Horizon Fills With Dark Clouds?"
Billy: "Imminent Storm Threatens Village. "
Quoyle: "But what if no storm comes?"
Billy: "Village Spared From Deadly Storm." -courtesy of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120824/quotes
