It was an an honor to write this story. In the great endeavor of #journalism, press workers are too often underappreciated, including by journalists like myself. https://t.co/AWNRuErXHa

Lady Gaga likely just saved hundreds of lives from giving her message about mental health on the grand stage that she did. It’s amazing how words lead to openness, which leads to hope for so many.

Nice folks at Sun Devil Stadium asked me to move my chair so they could “could clean something up” right behind me. Turned out to be a dead bat. Probably ate a pre-game meal here during ASU season.

Technically my last day today so I can continue retweeting John Prine stories.

And a fun guy to talk to.

[Gina Mizell @ginamizell]

Nah, he’s a fan favorite in Phoenix and (still) in Washington (@CandaceDBuckner and @FredKatz can confirm that)

[Robert Baum @Thebaumerphx]

@berniewilson I’m trying. Really.

[Robert Baum @Thebaumerphx]

Get home to find my story needed fix due to a scoring error in box score. How f-ing fitting.

[Robert Baum @Thebaumerphx]

Which is probably a good thing.

Congrats to @Thebaumerphx for working the final game of his storied 43-year AP career tonight. The company will never be the same again.

[Robert Baum @Thebaumerphx]

Robert Franks, who matched his career high with 34 against ASU on Thursday, has 20 in the first half in Tucson.

[Robert Baum @Thebaumerphx]

Much like ASU on Thursday, UA ice cold vs WSU, shooting 21 percent. Cougars lead 28-14 with 3:45 left in half

[Robert Baum @Thebaumerphx]

Cougars off to 7-0 lead in Tucson. They haven't swept the desert schools on the road since 2006-07
