Some readers may recall that last winter and spring I worked with We The People Media’s Urban Journalism Program, mostly at Robeson High School and Donoghue Elementary.
This year we’re doing things a little differently. We’ve hooked up with a mentoring program and this fall I’ve been working with a colleague with two kids from Chavez Multicultural Academic Center – a horridly fancy way of saying Chavez Elementary – on one-on-one instruction.
I’ve got a session I need to get to soon as I write this, and yes, I slept in because I was up all night tweeting about the election and such.
So no post-election Papers column until Thursday. We’ll see if Pat Quinn has come to Jesus by then.
But hey, here’s a couple special treats:

* Chicago Angels: Covert.
