From time to time, the Owl posts some site reminders/ information for readers. Super boring, I know. Scroll on by if you know everything. As a reminder, the Owl is a blog and not an objective media source though most of the time, the laser-like accuracy of the posts is stunning.

So it never fails: the Owl posts a story about a business, a restaurant recommendation or even a senior profile, and I get at least one email saying “hey, how come you’re focusing on them and not me or she or whatever?” I like these emails almost as much as the ones that say “post this information” as if this is a newspaper for the Town of Weston, which is not. Or worse, an unpaid public relations firm.

So here’s what I will tell you about the role of the Weston Owl as your unpaid public relations firm:

1. If you are a Weston non profit or community group, it is likely I will post your stuff, especially if you have included something in it that I deem funny. I am easily amused. I may not post it THAT EXACT DAY because…and I know this is hard to believe…I have a life and another day job. Also owlets and a Mr. Owl. So please be patient and I do my best.
2. If you are a for-profit business and in the town of Weston, it is also likely I will post your stuff but only if you tell me about it and I subjectively think readers will enjoy learning about it. I am not touring the mean streets of Weston for stories, I simply don’t have the time. Got something cool going on? Tell me. There is no charge for awesomeness…that there is a Kung Fu Panda quote. If I post about one place, it does not mean that I won’t post about another or that one is better than another…I mean, can’t we all just get along? Also a quote but from the LA race riots of late last century.
3. If you are a for-profit firm that makes millions of dollars a year and you want something posted, hire a PR firm and also me, you can have a sponsored post for slightly less than your current revenues.
4. Super occasionally I make a mistake. An errant pellet of info. I take feedback marginally well. Be nice.
5. In particular, I do want to point out that I would love to do a profile of every single Weston senior. Surprisingly I don’t know every single one of the class of 2023. Watch out when it’s your turn, Class of 2025, because you I know–start answering the questions now. If any reader is the parent or neighbor or friend of a Weston High School senior I have not profiled and who might be interested, please ask them to send me a note at thewestonowl@gmail.com.

And now on to getting ready for the Dual County League Championships in Outdoor Track–today and this evening at Proctor Field at Weston High School.

Go ‘cats!
