    Thanks, Kim, this is terrific. Great conversation with Mary Beth, too. (For more on color, check out the great interview by Kelly Petkun with Margaret Hubert on the KnitPicks podcast.)
    What also stood out to me from your first post was how your motivation to be The Editor was present all along. Some of us are designers, some are copy editors, tech editors, graphics people, and focus happily on one part of it, but you as The Editor have the overall view -- and the mindset.
