It’s Monday, so you know what that means: back to work, even for those of us at the Rocky Mountain News. Today is Monday, Feb. 23., and not many news outlets who first reported on our situation expected us to be here today. Yet, this morning on your doorstep was another Monday’s edition of the Rocky and our web site is still alive and well.

In this morning’s Rocky, you learn the rather ironic fact that despite being the stage for the signing of the stimulus bill, Colorado will actually receive less money from the package per resident than 48 other states; if you couldn’t wait out the end of the neverending Oscar broadcast, you learned that Slumdog Millionaire struck it rich; airlines are considering offering in-flight Internet access; curling — yes, curling — holds its U.S. Olympic Trials here this week; Chris Iannetta continues to blossom as the Rockies catcher and Dave Krieger says Ian Stewart should be in the lineup every day and puzzles over why he isn’t; and if you’re keeping track, the Rocky@150 series has now reached its 99th year, 1976, the year of the Big Thompson Flood and the year the price of the newspaper soared to 15 cents.
