Goodbye, Danny Boy!Dan McSwain is the most wired, connected, and organized database impersonating a human I've ever known. I worked next to Dan as a fellow business reporter, and when he made the great leap forward to becoming editorial editor.
No, Dan isn't about to punch me.

Believe me, I took advantage of his voluminous knowledge. Dan's database is much more accessible than anything Microsoft ever wrote, and speaks English!
Besides that, Dan was a pleasure to work alongside. His new employers at the Union-Tribune made a helluva catch. Dan and Janet. Two great folks, two great journalists who will be missed at the NCT.
At least I can be assured of seeing Dan twice a day -- while he's stuck in traffic along the I-15 with about 15 million other motorists. Ah, the pleasures of a reverse commute . . .
