      <![CDATA[Good heavens, BOTH Alan Solomon AND Randy Curwen? 
    They're some of the very best travel journalists this country has!  
    I can understand Alan's reasons: I felt the same way in 2004, when I left the Minneapolis Star Tribune after 26 years as travel editor: It was time. 
    But even if that's true, Alan and Randy's loyal readers will still grieve their absence. So will the rest of the travel-writing community, me included.

      <![CDATA[You have to wonder how bad things really are over there at the Tribune when the people with the best jobs and the best reputations in the business are jumping ship. Things must be a lot more grim in Tribville than anyone over there will admit. Way too much talent is walking out the door. Sad, sad, sad. Best of luck to everyone who is leaving. And I guess the ones who are staying will need even more luck.

      <![CDATA[Solomon was right about the pinhead sports editor and the TV. Right about a lot of other stuff as well. The high sheriffs never appreciated him enough, but that's what they do.

      <![CDATA[Al's newspaper life, including parts not told here, is a movie starring Kevin Kline. Or it should be. 
       Al is also either the nicest or the second nicest, but I think the nicest, guy at the Tribune. You should see his smile, those of you who don't know him. You can almost see it in his stories.
       Nice story, Mike Miner.

      <![CDATA[I met Alan a couple times when he was a Travel writer and I was a designer at the Trib. Many people who don't write half as well as he does have huge egos and are a pain, but he was nice, friendly and seemed to enjoy making you laugh. The Travel section, the whole building, will miss him.
