13 ribbons all told for the Stones, and we didn’t break a sweat

Normally, you have to enter a bunch of events to win so many ribbons. But my wife, Chris, and I collected 13 (four blues, four reds and five whites, and four first-place plaques) in our best street clothes Tuesday night at the San Diego Press Club awards banquet. More details are posted here. Chris won for photos, of course. I won for headlines, a video of a sub-4 mile and some writing. (I tied for second with a Pulitzer-Prize winner in the politics/government category.) Chris beat me 7-6. It’s all good, and I’m especially proud that the upstart Times of San Diego was honored as the No. 3 news website in San Diego — after the much bigger staffed U-T San Diego and San Diego Daily Transcript sites. Chris Jennewein, a pioneer in digital journalism, founded timesofsandiego.com only seven months ago, and already we’re a player in a big media market. Just like masters track, we showed up and won!
