WE DO OUR BEST not to be sad. We had seven wonderful years as a local newspaper, a nationally disrtibuted magazine, a tabloid-sized journal. Blood, sweat and the other thing from home offices in two locations: a beautiful mountain north of Los Angeles (Pine, by name) and Sherman Oaks, also in California. Our intent was to inspire; we think we did. But after a time, we had to call it. Health, debt, honoring our lenders. The demise of CC is probably only catching up to us now [2001]. Certain unexplained tears, a reflexive look to the calendar, itchy typing fingers. We would call our publication baby when we sent it to the printer or looked for its return. "Is Baby back?" One of us would ask. When we printed the newspaper on a funky press in Taft, California and would make the trip through (yes) snow, one of us wanted to strap the pasteup into a child's car seat. You might think that one of us might need to get his prescription refilled; but what, we ask, does it take to embark on this kind of journey? A little madness, much passion. We are not ashamed. Call it arrogance, but we think we will remain on the web as an archive. Call it hubris, but we might even add more pieces to the site. Maybe we'll do the whole seven years. Enjoy. We're glad you're here. It's still our baby. —Catherine Roberts Leach & Britt Leach |
