The bar/bat mitzvah is a Jewish rite of passage, in which a 13-year-old is allowed to read from the Torah, thereby becoming a full member of his or her religious community - an adult for lack of a better term. Not surprisingly, this is cause for an enormous celebration. The traditional gifts are savings bonds and fountain pens. There is an old joke about a boy who stands up at his bar mitzvah reception and says proudly into the microphone: “Today I am a fountain pen.”
In that spirit, welcome to the Enterprise sports blog, one our newspaper's first steps into the brave new world of interactive online extras. Our initial goal with this blog is to fill in some of the blanks left by not having a Saturday print edition. Ideally, this will be a way to offer just a little bit more of the Aggies, Blue Devils, and everything else. There will be more. We are planning to include some first-person insight into the sports we cover, commentary, and a first-look at what will be appearing the next day's paper.
You will also have the chance to respond to us, although for legal reasons we will be moderating the comments.
Right now, this site is also a work-in-progress. There are plenty of things we want to try, such as direct Q-and-As about the local teams and liveblogging of certain games to name a couple. If you have suggestions, please leave a comment or send it to me at mmirer@davisenterprise.net..
