What could possibly compel me to leave the warm, comfort and perpetual happy hour of retirement, even temporarily? The chance to return to my old job as criminal justice editor for the @seattletimes and work with talented journos like @SJGTimes, @stimesmcarter and @lewiskamb.

Annual visit to see Brooke on her first day of school. Teaching third grade this year at Cedar Trails, a new school in the Issaquah School District. Still weird to think my little girl’s in front of the class instead of in the class. #GoCougs
