I said Jeremy wouldn't you like it if my river were a little prettier. So he introduced me to Jeff Marx, who works at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lohud.com/&quot;&gt;Journal-News&lt;/a&gt;. He's busily designing a new river format for us. &quot;You might not like what I do,&quot; he says. True, I say. That's why I'm writing a blog post so you all can participate if you'd like. I'll have a pointer to Jeff's work soon."></outline>
