Loose ends: winter holiday edition!
--I used to think Mitt Romney was going to get the Republican
nomination and win the presidency. Now I think he'll be out of the race
come February.

--Any journalism students out there? Maybe you should think about sportswriting.
--Lest there be any confusion, today's Joe Fitzgerald column
isn't just a string of disjointed old memories. It's a string of
disjointed old memories with a closing plug for ex-Celtic coach K.C.

--Finally, fervent thanks to both Michael Paulson and the Globe's editorial higher-ups for Ma Siss's Place,
the multipart series on a Dorchester chop shop-turned-evangelical
church. There's a lot to like about this series, which concludes today:
it's a deep examination of an undercovered Boston neighborhood; an
unusual take on evangelicalism; the kind of narrative nonfiction you
usually see in magazines, not newspapers; a study in Web-based
content complimenting what's in print. And I'm probably missing a few
things. Great stuff. More, please.
