Personal news: Today is my last day working for @usatodaysports. Thankfully, this is by my choice. After 25-plus years with the company, there are waaay too many people to thank individually, but I am grateful to all. Next move: TBD -- but it doesn't involve a beach chair.
@DanielLibit Dan: Thanks very for much weighing in on this! Greatly enjoyed the one project we worked on together for USAT. I have big respect for what you did before that and for what you continue to do now!
@darrenrovell Darren: Thanks so much for reaching out and weighing in. Your kind words mean a great deal, coming from someone who was among the pioneers of this whole sports-biz reporting genre.
@bruce_lefkowitz Lefko! You are most kind to reach out! Still remember covering your first game for Penn, against Davidson in Charlotte. Hope all is well with you!
