Wow, high praise Mr. Chatfield! I should have that tattooed on my arm. Thank you!

It was so nice to see you at the par-tay and I am happy for you that you'll be walking by that 16-foot pigeon every day. I am also very excited about this bird and mentioned it in my last issue. It's going to be a GAME CHANGER for the city, I just know it!

It's very difficult to be a journalist remnant from the early 2000s. I entered the fray on 9/10/2001 fresh out of the service. By the time I finished journalism school in '03 I was living in a converted mine shack in a Montana town wondering why I was making the same salary as a McDonald's fry cook. 😅

I kicked a 5 to 6 cup of coffee (a day) habit for chai but not just any chai, the chai that is made at this place in San Francisco and they ship around the country. It will change your life 🙌🏼

Just bring all of your newly acquired knowledge to San Diego for the Reubens and I will buy you many coffee "substitutes."
