Rotten day at the office yesterday. I learned from one of my colleagues (and the New York Times) that my boss, Roger Hodge, was fired by Harper’s Magazine.

Roger gave me my first and only real job in journalism. Gave me my only raise and promotion as a working adult. Assigned and ran two of my pieces in the magazine. I don’t know many people that I respect and admire more.

Roger is also the father of two lovely young children and has a wife who is a great support to him. He will be fine.

Blue.
