Today, is Monday, Feb. 16, two months since we launched IwantmyRocky.com and one month from the day many people assumed we would be gone. Despite all the rumors then and all the rumors now, it is another Monday at the Rocky Mountain News. If you don’t believe us, check your doorstep.

The newspaper is still there and our Web site is still here. This morning we reported on truly Western jobs like the bartender, the cowboy, the poker dealer, the miner and more; President Obama’s impending visit to the city to sign the stimulus bill; the bargains available for skiing and snowboarding tickets; the NBA All-Star Game, the dropping numbers of sage grouse, the Daytona 500; and perhaps the biggest decision facing Colorado this spring: who will be the Rockies’ fifth starter. It’s a decision we plan to be around to report.

Thank you again to those who have written in support of the Rocky, and thank you to all of those who continue to pick up the newspaper each morning and visit our Web site each day.
