    Not-so-humble mom brag: My son, who has been studying harp for 11 years, just got into the fancy summer music program at Interlochen. He wants to be a professional harpist. This boy was born at 24 weeks and tackled every challenge to get where he is. So proud.

    BREAKING: I've been laid off. I'm not angry or bitter. After 30 years in the business, I've been lucky to get this far without a layoff. So rather than focus on the horror that is @gannett, I'm gonna say this: “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

    Reporters, a bit of advice on something I learned the hard way: Don’t let anyone tell you something isn’t a story when you know it is. I’ve fallen into this trap. Years later, I still regret not telling stories I should have. 1/

    I’ve been a reporter for 30 years, but I still can’t get over the thrill of being on the front page. Thanks @HoustonChron for letting me continue to do what I love.
