I wrote a while back about my kid, a sophomore at NYU and his liveblogging exploits at a school building takeover by a band of goofs.
Those efforts helped him land a pretty good summer gig at our local newspaper, the Albuquerque Journal, writing a new blog about the goings on around town. But he's gone beyond the call of duty and is hosting a pretty comprehensive 'conversation' on the state of, and possible solutions to, healthcare in our state and country. We hear from the NM State Democratic Party, a local physician, a former healthcare lobbyist and president of a large research foundation, and a noted grassroots Democratic blogger. It's telling that the state Repulican Party has declined to participate. Trust me, it's pretty comprehensive and pretty damned interesting.
In a month Charlie's off to Buenos Aires for his junior year. Jesus, to be young again!
