Hey guys.
What have you been up to? Not much has been going on over here. Same old, same old. Since I'm not publishing the Star Tribune or Pioneer Press anymore, I've been looking for things to do. I can only spend so much time helping my wife redecorate our house or work on my screenplay.
My buddy Kevin and I were talking over beers the other day and he said I needed to get back in the game. We were talking about my screenplay, The Deadline, and he said a screenplay was fine and everything, but I need to get back in the saddle and do what I love and that's business, mostly publishing. And I think Kev is right. Why not try to get back into publishing?
But you know what I've learned from this blog? Paper publishing is the past. The internet is the future. You can say whatever you want and it doesn't matter. You can even just take the articles that other people write, put them on your web blog and act like you're reporting, especially with politics. Kevin thinks I should start my own internet paper and do the publishing for that. Maybe I will, who knows. I just need to find something to do with my free time.

After leaving the Saint Paul Pioneer Press, Par Ridder recently became the publisher of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. There's been some controversy with his changing roles, and he'd like to let people know his side of the story. Also, this blog is a parody. It's not the thoughts and opinions of the real Par Ridder.

Glad to hear from you again, Par. I was afraid it was over.
Fake Steve Jobs has a book coming out, so it's only fair that fake Par Ridder get a movie produced! Go for it, dweeb boy.
Where would we be without you, Par.
Say hi to Kev for me...
Just a thought: how about a stage play -- The McGuire at the Guthrie would be perfect, ethically speaking. And then you could stream it on the web and do a reality show offshoot. Unlimited possibilities....
Where have you been?
good to see the star tribune has really improved its financial performance since you left.
i predict in the next 18 months you'll be making more money doing something else and the trib will be chapter 11.
looks like the Chapter 11 prediction came true a little sooner than expected.
