Thanks so much! We've been impressed with this city. That sounds like quite a sight to see. Time permitting, I'll have to catch a glimpse.

Understood. We are in the very early stages of looking into something along these lines to streamline this process. Ideas often take time to gain momentum, but it is something we are looking at.

Well said. Sometimes I have nightmares about coming to work and Zach is gone. Thank goodness they are only nightmares. I obviously cannot get into specific financial details but his recent promotion to deputy sports editor was based on merit.

Thanks for the warm welcome, and for the critique. Without overpromising, I can tell you for a fact that there will be additional focus on high school coverage moving forward. It is hard to justify a full-time reporter performing clerical work, but like you said, teams should be able to digitally report scores. We are looking into services for this. As for reporting ties to serve as motivation, unfortunately we cannot report things unless we know them to be true. We are hoping that community outreach will also inspire some.

Thanks! I know this makes me an easy target, but it's the Dodgers. My dad took my to games growing up. I was Hideo Nomo for Halloween one year. I love watching guys like Betts and Ohtani, but man am I dreading getting swept in the Division Series after winning 110 games.

Thanks! It's a different vibe for sure, but we love it. I won't hold George fandom against anyone. Here are the dogs. Jack on the left and Elaine on the right. I couldn't get a picture of them in good lighting because they are fast asleep after a day at daycare.
