Today is my first day in the office since Christmas. I spelled my name wrong in an email--the name I've had since birth.
Some personal news: This is my final week at The @denverpost covering the Colorado Rapids, Colorado Soccer + preps. Beginning in 2024 I’m moving to a job outside of journalism and will be back in Sweet Home Chicago. Livin' the dream: 5 years in Colorado, the last 3 in Denver.
Christmas came early today and it was brought to you by @JackAlbrightMU. If there is ONE article you read today, make it this one that Jack wrote on @MarquetteVB HC Ryan Theis. Such a good read. So many good tidbits. What a story. marquettewire.org/4113427/sports…
Some personal/personnel news: I’ve accepted the @washingtonpost buyout and will be leaving on Dec. 31 after (yikes!) 35 years. Got a few plans (including freelancing to the Post). Excited (and a tiny bit apprehensive) about what comes next. Happy holidays to all!
Yesterday marked three years without Meg Jones, one of the kindest, most wonderful and fun people to ever grace this planet. I miss her terribly and I know many, many others feel the same. Learn more about Meg and her legacy here: megjonesfund.org

Great read about unsung she-ro Hazel Johnson, who spoke out against the polluting of Chicago's South Side.
The mother of environmental justice was a Black woman from the South Side of Chicago. An audio docuseries is bringing her story to new generations of activists. capitalbnews.org/hazel-johnson-…
So some legit personal news: Today is my last day at USA TODAY. Incredible run. Proud to have worked with so many wonderful people.
Personal News: I am excited to announce that I have been selected as a News Fellow for Spectrum News and @SpectrumNews1WI for the 2023-24 school year! Local journalism is so important and I can't wait to join the team in Milwaukee!
Four years ago @Documentedny started its WhatsApp channel, which now has more than 6,000 members who receive our Spanish newsletter weekly and send us messages every day. Today we hosted our first in person event! #engagement #journalism 🥳
