A wide-ranging interview is as varied as the daily deadline grind for journalists.

My colleague Celia Jiménez often admits to a kind of short-term amnesia probably common to journalists. Even on a Thursday, with the paper sitting in front of us, Jiménez will shrug, laugh and say that she doesn’t remember the stories she wrote that week.

Dave Faries here, acknowledging that I suffer the same memory gap. A year ago, no problem. A few days ago—nope, drawing a blank. As the paper is published or the newsletter goes out, we are already involved in the next set of stories.

Perhaps this is due to the pace leading up to deadline, especially for staff writers like Jiménez who covers news, but also pitch in elsewhere when needed—as was the case for the current edition of the Weekly.

One of the stories she worked on revealed the impact of simply booking inmates into jail on law enforcement and all of us. It is reasonable to assume that it is a simple process. However, the steps involved often tie up officers for up to eight hours. To find out why, check out the story here.

But that’s not what I set out to highlight. Each week we feature someone in a space we call Face to Face—except that with time ticking down this week, the slot remained empty. Two people in the lineup had to be bumped back. We needed a third, and fast.

Jiménez stepped in, reaching out to Justine Stock, actor and co-founder of New Canon Theatre Co. It’s an interesting interview, ranging from stage to poetry to the way places and language can shape you—or her, at least—into different personalities.

That piece you can read here. And maybe seeing this will jog Jiménez’s memory, although she’s long since moved on to the next edition.
