HARGO DAY IN SOMERVILLE: It's a topsy-turvy world we live in when the Boston Globe puts the Somerville Gates on A1 whilst my bosses bury my story about same on page 16. Go figure. My story still beats the competition, although I had to bite my lip yesterday when people I interviewed talked about how wonderful it was to see the parody project spotlighted in the New York Times. The only reason the Times got the story (same day as my exclusive interview) was because I talked Hargadon into going home the day before so he could e-mail me hi-res jpgs of his cat with his gates. Oh well. Live and learn. Read my story and learn how to write tight.
