Daughter Laura continues to move her career through the world of online entertainment journalism. Earlier this year, she left her position as Editor-in-Chief of the best-of-class blog site Comics Alliance, which she founded and built for AOL/Huffington Post to address the world of comics, graphic novels, and the movies that follow from them. She wanted to do more freelance writing as she had occasionally done for Publishers Weekly, The Los Angeles Times, Complex magazine and, yes, Wired magazine.
But a funny thing happened on her way down that new road: a car named Wired.com stopped and asked her if she wouldn't rather take a ride with them as their new Culture and Entertainment Editor. An offer, an opportunity, that would be hard to turn down.
And after the requisite soul-searching, she accepted the offer, of course. She recently moved to the San Francisco area, spent Thanksgiving with us at brother Adam's house in Irvine CA, and began work at Wired this past Monday. So, from Brown to Toyohashi, Japan to New York City, then to Portland, OR, and now San Francisco.* That's my girl, and I'm very proud of her.

[* Following her brother Adam's peripatetic example: he from Colby to Amica where he has worked in their Boston, Rhode Island and Ann Arbor, MI offices, was general manager of their West Coast call center in Spokane, WA, and now is Southern California sales and service manager in Costa Mesa, CA. I'm very proud of him, too. We raised our children to follow their opportunities, and the lessons seem to have stuck!]
