Greg Reeves: KC's best blogger

Okay, here's the deal . . . I feel horrible now that Greg Reeves is giving up the blog and his job at the Star due to a medical situation . . . I was looking forward to berating the guy for years to come . . . Who knows, maybe he'll get a private blog and I can continue to hassle him. During the time that Crime Scene KC has been around, Reeves has shepherded the page through tremendous success and when he was absent it was clear that the fill-in's just didn't have his chops. His blog has earned one award after the next, garnered national recognition and created a community of readers whereas I had some nasty 70 year-old dude send me nude pics a couple of months ago that still give me nightmares to this day. A brief aside: So many people in town have taken note of Reeves' efforts . . . I remember crying and getting pouty like French woman when I spotted a 2 page spread (ew) devoted to Reeves in KC Magazine last year.

I'd like to take this moment to note that I liked competing against him (he always won), I liked annoying him and I'll definitely miss him . . . While I don't believe in any of that sentimental "bon voyage" garbage . . . I will say that I've always been impressed with Reeves because when one nasty post followed the next from me, he never even acknowledged my stupid little joke blog . . . And that's the kind of discipline that I've rarely seen from other publications, political campaigns or small business owners who seem to think that the jabs I throw make a difference to anyone.

So, I'm really just writing this for myself but I guess I'd like to note that I wish Greg Reeves all the best and I can only hope there might be a day in the future when I'm able to harass and belittle him once again.
