Media Correction of the Year…

One of the year’s most coveted awards goes to none other than Dave Barry. Here’s how the famous humor writer chose to correct a misspelling he made in a column published by the Miami Herald:

“In yesterday’s column about badminton, I misspelled the name of Guatemalan player Kevin Cordon. I apologize. In my defense, I want to note that in the same column I correctly spelled Prapawadee Jaroenrattanatarak, Poompat Sapkulchananart and Porntip Buranapraseatsuk. So by the time I got to Kevin Cordon, my fingers were exhausted.”

Magazine Picks America’s Healthiest Airport (PHX wins!)

Health magazine has researched and chosen their top U.S. airports according to healthy environments.

Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) leads the pack, and I agree with them. I’ve used the airport at least a dozen times in the past year since I moved here.

This is the criteria they used.

Come to Phoenix and see for yourself!
