St. Patrick is smiling on me … MC in today’s Sarasota Herald-Tribune

If you’re a daily newspaper reader and want to catch me in print … the Sarasota Herald Tribune picked up a piece I wrote about believing you’ve got the luck of the Irish … even if you’re not Irish and even if it’s not St. Patrick’s Day. You can read it at that link just provided, or check it out in print on page 8A!

And BIG THANKS to everyone who’s sent such nice emails and/or picked up my book today! You made my day!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!

MC Coolidge in today’s Sarasota Herald Tribune

My hometown newspaper — the Sarasota Herald Tribune — picked up a piece I wrote about the connection between having a manicure and losing one’s home. I always appreciate appearing in one of the local papers, and the Herald-Trib is the “big daily” in town; nice of them to include my work. Fingers crossed maybe someday they’ll consider a regular gig for me in their pages … hey, I can dream, can’t I?

You may have already read the piece in my blog, or picked up the paper today, but if not and you want to check it out, here’s the link:

MC in print in the Bradenton Herald

Happy day after Thanksgiving! Hope you all enjoyed a fabulous day with friends, family, critters, nature, football, and food!

A slightly different version of a blog posting I made earlier this month was picked up by the Op/Ed editor at the Bradenton Herald. If you’re interested you can link to that commentary by clicking here: Thanksgiving is Really All About Love.

I haven’t appeared in the Bradenton Herald before and I really appreciate the editor there giving me a shot in his pages. If you care to leave a comment at the paper’s site, they offer a place for comment at the end of my piece.

MC in print in local Pelican Press newspaper

The editors at the Pelican Press — the old stomping grounds for my Reality Chick column — were kind enough to buy an article I freelance wrote on the issue of Amendment Two and the City of Sarasota’s ongoing policy of offering health insurance benefits to employees involved in same-sex relationships.

I support what the City is doing. This piece is not an opinion piece — just a news piece on the potential conundrum the City and a lot of other employers could be facing ….

I hope you take a moment to read the article — you can find it in your local copy of the Pelican Press or check it out at their online presence here: City still offering benefits to same-sex partners

MC hits the Sarasota Herald-Trib!

Yowza, the local Sarasota Herald Tribune picked up an opinion piece I wrote and they’re running it in today’s paper — on newstands now!

You can read it in print (page A11) or view it online.

And, if you want to let the editors know you loved … or hated the piece, you can either leave a comment on the H-T site (see the option directly below the story), or you can drop them a Letter to the Editor via their online letter to the editor box.

Could a Sarasota mayor catapult to VEEP nominee?

Hey everyone, I’ve got a reporting piece (not opinion!) in this week’s Creative Loafing newspaper. This is the first time a local Sarasota newspaper has run my writing since I left the Pelican Press, so I’m psyched!

If you’re local to Sarasota, you can pick up a copy of CL on newstands today. Or, you can read it online at the Creative Loafing website.

There’s a place below the article to post a comment at their site or feel free to come back here and comment away!

I’m blaming Bill (published in the Tampa Tribune 8/26)

In the over-hyped week before Obama announced his VP choice, I shocked myself by realizing I was harboring a secret hope that he’d choose Hillary Clinton.

Why this sudden convoluted craving for a Clinton?  I didn’t vote for her in the primaries; Obama’s been my choice all along. So, why this rush of hope for Hillary now? (more…)
