A monthly magazine is a great place for in-depth articles on topics of interest. It’s not the greatest place to get current news, especially when we have to work two to three months ahead, and plan even farther ahead than that.

Enter the Internet and the weblog (more commonly called the “blog,” a term I hate, but have to bow to convention and use). This blog is a way of sharing viewpoints and information that otherwise would take a long time to get to you in print. It’s also a way to clue you in to interesting stories coming your way in future issues of the TPO. I might even use it to venture an opinion now and then.

I hope you’ll see value in what you find here, and if something you read brings up a thought or insight you want to share, send it to me at editor@tpomag.com. We’ve said since we started TPO that “It's your magazine.” This blog is yours, too – it’s here to serve you. We’ll always welcome your thoughts on how we can make it better and more useful.
