Today should be another excellent day — opening day at The Ballpark, then an evening with the ponies and Willie Nelson at Lone Star Park.
In case anyone’s wondering why I was so happy yesterday, I found out I won a 2002 Headliners Award, which is the biggest honor in Texas journalism every year. (No link to a list of winners yet, so you’ll just have to trust me.) My coauthor Roy Appleton and I won in the Best Explanatory Journalism category, for the five-day dropout series we wrote last May.
