Hi JHubbers -
Having grown up in Washington, I love to go apple picking this time of year. Can anyone recommend orchards where you can pick your own apples around here?

Hi JHub crew,

We have a big announcement to make, and I think you're going to love it.

As of Monday, I'm stepping down from my position as online editor/JHUB manager. Frequent JHub contributor Jenny Wixom will be taking over, and she's going to do an awesome job.

What does this change mean to you? Not much, except that if you have any questions, you should probably direct them toward Jenny. She'll be managing all the day-to-day running of TheJHub.com. She'll also be working on marketing the site, so if you have any suggestions for spreading the word let her know. Jenny's the Variety editor at the Idaho State Journal, so she's totally in touch with everything happening around here, and she'll be a great resource for TheJHub.com.

But I'll still be around, probably blogging and staying in touch with TheJHub community, so you won't even have a chance to miss me.

I've had a ton of fun getting to know all of the great people here, and I know you'll love Jenny even more than me.

Have any questions? Feel free to e-mail kcarpenter@journalnet.com or jwixom@journalnet.com.

And please say hi to Jenny if you haven't already!!!
