Happy 30th to @boston.com !
I was 20 in 2003 and pretty sure I knew everything there was to know about journalism.
They hired me anyway.
What followed is an enviable career I wouldn't trade for anything.
Here's to all the heroes, villains, big stars, and bit players I met along the way!

All hail the Queen Guardian of Boston! Long may she swim around the Giant Ocean Tank and nap upon its fake coral. #myrtletheturtle
