A brutal blow …

I knew this was coming. But I still can’t keep from crying all over my keyboard as I write this.

The Rocky Mountain News is closing tomorrow after an amazing 150 year run.

I wanted to make this about me. About my time at the Rocky, short as it was, and what an impact it had on me. About the fact that now every daily paper I worked for is extinct. But it’s not about me. It’s about the Rocky. So suffice it to say: Denver won’t be he same without you, Rocky Mountain News. Best of luck to everyone who is about to become unemployed in a tough economy, and thanks for producing an amazing newspaper. I love all y’all.

Someone beaming in from the Google Transporter would be hard pressed to figure out what’s going on here. So I’ve pulled together my favorite posts in a single category that I’ve labeled Top Bob.

Here they are.
