[Ed. note: As we recently mentioned, we’re looking for someone to write Morning Docket, on an alternating-week schedule. To those of you who have already applied, thanks for your interest; we’ll review the applications and pick a writer this weekend. If you’d like to apply, there’s still time — just follow the application instructions contained in this post (but please note that the gig now comes with pay — a modest monthly stipend). Thanks.]
