This reporter's life
My nine-source story about the city's first homicide in a year somehow turned out OK, and I even got compliments from the sergeant in charge of the investigation and the SWAT team. He's one of those good people to know, in part because he's just a funny, cool guy, and also because he's a very good source. In fact, he's such a good source that he called my cell phone 20 minutes after police nabbed the murder suspect today.This reporter's life has been adventurous this week, to put it mildly. Talking to cops at 1 a.m., chasing the SWAT team as they block traffic and surround an apartment, talking to a crying grandfather, talking to a crying sister, rushing to a vineyard fire, pulling over to take a phone call on the way back so that I can take notes and not get in a car accident. I love my job.
