Lori!    It is so good to hear from you!  I sent you a message.  It is probably best to have a chat - there is so much to tell!

It's really cool that you have done work in Latin America!  I speak Spanish too and lived in Brazil for a year.  My Portuguese is rusty!  I've always thought it would be great to take some international depos!

Are you talking about in Sioux Falls?  If so, I would recommend Kerry Lange or Pat Beck.  They're both excellent.  We also have a facebook page for SD reporters.  You could check it out.  Let's keep in touch!

Hi Lori,

I'm an official in Sioux Falls and I don't take outside jobs, but as far as freelancers here, most everyone is independent.  Kerry Lange has Dakotah Reporting, but I think it's just her and maybe one other reporter.  We are an anti-contracting state, so we don't get involved with any of the big contracting firms.  Hope this answers your question.  Where are you now?

Lori -

Did you ever get your LightSpeed?  Was wondering what you thought.  I bought one about five years ago and just couldn't get used to it.  I wanted to try it again and was wondering what you think.

Thanks, Lori, for getting back to me.  Things seem to be picking up in my area a bit, San Francisco.  I was super slow about five months ago.  I just hope it continues to stay steady.

Have a great weekend.

Hello, Lori

I was wondering if I could get some feedback from you about how the work situation is in Washington these days?  Is work picking up for you?
