It would figure that I’m not in New York this week … the week I’d actually get to see my name in print since, oh, August.

On Sunday, Newsday published a piece I did in December on a lawyer in Jackson Heights, Queens, who is helping immigrants dealing with the same problems she had when she came to the country illegally three decades ago.

Even after years of newspaper work, there’s still a thrill that comes from seeing your own byline. Of course, I have to wait ‘til I get back to New York to do that … But seeing it online was cool, too.

What’d you think of the story?
