Good times with Bret Anthony Johnston, my skate homie and acclaimed novelist. Growing up, I thought writers and skaters were the two coolest kinds of people on all of planet earth. Now I'm 47 getting a doubles clip with an author I admire. An ordinary day is extraordinary when you appreciate it.

My five years memory: On March 9, 2020, I accomplished my life's goal of writing a book and getting my name on the marquee at Powell's. The next day, March 10, I flew home as the world shut down. Down to the wire!

Controversial opinion: If more local news articles had ledes like this, more people would care about things like the fiscal state of their public transit agency. Simple, to the point, a little fun, a bit of edge. @kevinbtruong.bsky.social @sfstandard.com
