I have a surprise next week for all of my loyal blog readers: Guest bloggers. I am making way all next week to give some other folks around here their shot at blog-immortality. I think that it will be nice for readers to get another voice out of this blog. A different point of view. I put out an email to city employees and had ten quick responses. I’ve got five lined up for next week, and five more in mid-September Here’s the line-up for next week:
In the Monday morning lead-off position is Parks & Recreation Department Administrative Assistant Brenda Uting. Tuesday, it’s City Management Intern Luke Fischer on the last day of his summer internship. On Wednesday, you can look forward to a view of Eden Prairie through the eyes of Outside Utilities guy Andrew Sullivan. Look out for Thursday because its my Executive Assistant Lorene McWaters. I promised her no pre-posting editing. I may be eating that promise before the end of the day on Thursday. 
We wrap up the week with the man who doesn’t make the news, he only reports it: City Assessor Steve Sinell.
I’m just kidding about the pre-post editing. I made that promise to everyone. I gave them all some general tips about what it’s like to write and blog and what, in my experience, people have found interesting in this forum. That’s about it. I don’t want to inhibit their creative thinking with too many rules and parameters. They’re all smart people. They can handle it.
So enjoy your week of guest bloggers next week. I know I will.
