New job will keep me busy in S.D., so say a prayer, have patience

At 11 a.m. today, we made the official announcement: I’ve been promoted to associate regional editor of Patch sites in south and east San Diego County. I’m no longer editor of La Mesa Patch but will supervise six editor colleagues to help them be the best they can be and grow their Patches. So even though I have tons of stuff to report on this blog (including several American records at the indoor combined-events nationals), please be patient with me as I make the transition to my new job. (Yes, I got a raise.) And I’ll be contacting Steve Robbins for advice on newbie management. This is a first for moi. Thanks for your understanding.

My Patch site and a neighboring one are being merged starting Wednesday.
