The Best of the Rest

Sincerest thanks to everyone who took time to come to my rescue in naming the blog. I know it was not an easy task, because I couldn't do it myself which is why I asked for your help. However, it was delightful to read the entries not once, not twice but many times. There were many good suggestions, but besides the winner, three others were worthy contenders::

Yours, Mine and Flowers, Connie Akers

The Flower Mill, Eric Earnhart

Civil Discourse, Roger Elkin

A special nod to the several folks who included some reference to "Straight Talk" in their suggestion. I liked that name...until I remembered it is used by community blogger Jeff Artis. Though Jeff has a very strong blog, I figured I shouldn't duplicate the name he uses.

Again I thank everyone for making time in your day to read my no-name newspaper column. and to keep reading it, particularly on those mornings when I make you want to throw your cereal bowl and scream, "WHAT WAS SHE THINKING!?"
Sincerely,

s

  1. "In the flow" represents purity and clarity. Something this country needs at the moment.

  2. I like "In the Flow" (even though it cost me lunch!) I think you made the best choice. Looking forward to the ongoing conversation.

About this blog

Shanna Flowers

In her signature plainspoken style, Michigan native Shanna Flowers peels away the layers and gets to the heart of the issues. No pretense. Just straightforward perspective. Shanna writes about local people whose circumstances reflect decisions made as near as City Hall or as far away as the halls of Congress. Other times, she weighs in on a topic because it is incredibly ridiculous. Or heartening. Or fascinating. Read Shanna's column three days a week, Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, at roanoke.com
