To all of my friends here, I have some big and exciting news to announce today.

Everybody knows how tough it is to make a living as a journalist now, with the consolidation of media outlets by big corporations and the reliance of the public on social media.

I'm going to make a major change in direction in my career. After much thought and consideration, I've decided to take a position as outreach director and communications specialist with the Westlands Water District, the largest agricultural agricultural water district in the country.

The salary I will receive is six times the highest salary I've ever made as a journalist — and the water district will greatly benefit from my years of writing and experience as a journalist.

I will be publicizing the latest efforts by the Westlands Water District and the California Department of Water Resources to restore habitat on the Delta to benefit the Delta smelt, longfin smelt, winter-run Chinook salmon, spring-run Chinook salmon, Sacramento split tail, green sturgeon and other imperiled native species.

I will also be working with DWR, the Bureau of Reclamation, WWD and other water agencies and stakeholders on collaborative solutions to addressing water supply and ecosystem restoration in California.

It has been wonderful working with everybody all these years and I look forward to a bright future with Westlands, a water district that feeds the world with almonds, pistachios, walnuts, melons and other essential crops! Any time you’re on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, drop in and say hi to me in my new office!

Have a Happy April Fool’s Day!
