On communication, professional and otherwise.
For instance, my friend Bill Lavicka has cancer, and I wrote this piece about him in Chicago editions of Sunday's The New York Times, photographed beautifully by Paul Beaty.
And I helped ace Chicago video journalist Chris Cascarano produce this video.
Godspeed, Bill, and may you now get back all the love you've given to the history of Chicago and the people in your life.
That's the marvelous headline that The New York Times editors did not use for my story in today's Chicago edition, about the most dominant player in women's football coming to play for Chicago's team, the Force.
Hard-core Murray readers will remember this piece from two years ago, written and published on my old Shades of Gray blog, upon the death of my friend Ed. Supremely confident in my theory that Eddie wouldn't have minded my reminding Chicago of what a cool guy he was, I've republished it on Huffington Post.
