Robin Abcarian: I pray for RBG (and other confessions)

I think I've done everything at this paper except cover sports.

I've been a feature writer, a culture writer, a national reporter, a section editor. I've covered mass shootings, hurricanes, political campaigns, presidential conventions, Oscars, Emmys and film festivals.

I've written travel stories, obituaries and celebrity profiles.

But my favorite post is columnist, an assignment I've had at this paper, on and off, since 1992. It is a dream job.

Your work is to help make sense of this messy, beautiful world. You get to tell readers what you think, and why. You try to persuade, engage, enlighten and inform.
