Joan Ryan's sabbatical

One of my favorite writers, Joan Ryan, announced this week that she's taking a break from her column in the San Francisco Chronicle.

When I read her last column, I remembered what I loved most about being a feature writer.

As Joan said, "I get to parachute into people's lives, sit at their kitchen tables and listen to their stories. I get to carry issues I care about onto the public stage and shine a light on them."
