The long but orderly lines were so worth it. Fantastic concert.

Thankful to hear from so many current and former colleagues, friends and readers. I’m leaving for a great opportunity outside of journalism. And I’ll still be based in San Jose.

Personal news: This is my last week at @mercnews, ending a long career with my hometown paper. I’ve been fortunate to work with many talented people, and I’m thankful for friendships that will endure. I’m leaving journalism but will still work within the South Bay community.
