💬 Staff Picks — What we're talking about around the Gazette this week
📰 Justin is stepping away from the newsroom for the month of July, so our amazing freelancers will be taking over his staff picks — a fun chance to get to know some of our reporters and writers through their random thoughts and one-liners!
⚽ Anthony has learned that every four years, when the beautiful game puts on its biggest spectacle, the World Cup reminds him what it's like to root for Mexico: hope, followed by heartbreak. On Sunday, he'll watch them play a second knockout-stage match with faith and his daughter, and no score can take that memory away.
⛺ Amy is counting down the minutes until she can ditch her laptop and her to-do list for some coastal camping with her favorite humans.
