Carey Greenberg-Berger has been doing a smashbang job of writing posts these past two weekends (and yesterday) so we decided to make it official. He is bumped up from email reader to email reader plus weekend editor.

The deftness of Carey’s story selection should come as no surprise, considering he has been reading the site longer than any of the current editors have been writing for it.

A New York native working hard to get the OED to recognize “whyn’t,” Carey is not a hippie, but does need a haircut. He keeps watch on the squirrels from his Upper West Side apartment.

Everyone give Carey a big welcome! — BEN POPKEN
