the writing's been on the wall for a long time but for someone like me that grew up reading jim murray in the times, this is still a bit jaw dropping.

Jim Murray in the Times, John Hall in O.C.Register, Malumud in Examiner...true greats of the past. The SG Valley Tribune had a good column from Art Wilson on occasion, but what are ya gonna do?
