Confessions of a Toys R Us parent & newspaper editor

It was when we were writing the obit for Toys R Us last week that I realized the newspaper industry - at least our print editions - have a lot in common with the struggling, iconic toy store.

And it's not just the fact that so many of us who toil in this industry don't what to grow up.

I guess at some point, I will have to figure out what I want to do when I actually do grow up.

I wasn't a Toys R Us kid. I was a Toys R Us parent.

And I have the scars to prove it.

Now, my industry is dealing with some of the same enemies.

It's in my weekly Letter From the Editor print column.
