I have to take a moment to be grateful for Wes “Scoop” Nisker, who passed on this week. He was a comedian and reporter on KSAN in San Francisco, and then KFOG, and his sign-off was, “If you don’t like the news, go out and make some of your own!” These are words I have carried with me since the first time I heard them, and I’m so thankful he said them through the radio. Let’s all make some good news, in honor of Scoop.

Remember:


That’s enough for now. Have a peaceful week!

May you find a spot that fits you just right, may you make some news of your own, won’t you be my neighbor?

-Betsy
