Today I complete a full week of unpaid furlough, my second this year. These are difficult times in the newspaper business, and like everyone at my paper, I’m doing my part (we also took 7 percent pay cuts this year). It’s been an interesting week. The downside: No paycheck. The upside: Time with family, a chance to relax, and several glorious mornings up on the slopes at Bogus (pictured above). Next week I’m on vacation - no downside to that…
