So in a supreme display of lunacy and commitment, or at least probable cause to be

committed, Nick Breckon actually just moved across the country last week to be our new San

Francisco writer. Our fine young man was actually posting from a hotel lobby today

stealing WiFi while he waits for his new home connection to show up tomorrow. Way to be

sassy, Nick! I've been doing this for nearly 15 years and my dad still doesn't think it's a

real job. I sure doubt he'd help me move across the country to do it!

is good!
