See the Wicked Miss Copeland post below?

A reporter from the Tampa Tribune offered to pay me if he could publish it in his paper.  Here's his email:

I'd like to use this post in The Tampa Tribune with a story that runs next week on school lunch boxes. I'd like to offer you $50 for it.

Can you please e-mail me at jhouck@tampatrib.com or call me at (813) 259-XXXX?

I was going to start to call myself a coffee drinker, but remembered that my grandpa has drank black coffee for 60 years and I've had 3 caramel lattes.
