Dear Kevin Cullen

Yo, Kevin--As a Globe metro columnist, you've got one of the best jobs in Boston journalism. But you're supposed to write about Boston, not yourself. The next time someone points out that you made a factual error, just acknowledge it in a straightforward way. Don't waste 670 words explaining why it wasn't a big deal. (And yes, I'm lumping your proletarian UMass riff in with your screw-my-critics riff.)

Thanks,

Adam

Don't let this destroy your faith in the intellectual honesty and prodigious work ethic of the folks on Morrissey Boulevard. Taken together, do the "Dog Days" eventually turn into a Dog Month?
