There was definitely a selection factor about the people who attended my 50th high school reunion in suburban New York a few weeks ago. We were the people who weren’t dead. I confess I was seriously ambivalent about attending this event. But in the end, I was glad I went, despite, as I’ve previously written, the nightmare air travel to get there. Fortunately, there was one shining light in the airline experience: flying from Martha’s Vineyard (where we were visiting friends ahead of time) to Armonk, New York (closest airport to my hometown) in an eight-seater Cape Air plane. When I tried to go through the TSA line at the Martha’s Vineyard airport, I was informed that I didn’t need to as mine was a “TSA-unsecured flight.” There’s really such a thing? But then, there’s probably only minimal terrorist activity going on between Martha’s Vineyard and Armonk.

Las Patronas’ 69th annual Jewel Ball — one of the most glamorous annual fundraisers in San Diego since 1946 — sported a French theme for 2015, celebrating the bon vivant and the joie de vivre in high style on Aug. 8 at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Bien sur there was Champagne, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and auctions, toutefois, dinner and dancing to the music of Wayne Foster Entertainment provided the pièce de résistance. The major beneficiaries of the Las Patronas Jewel Ball 2015 are: Alpha Project for the Homeless; Arc of San Diego; Boys & Girls Clubs of San Diego; Living Coast Discovery Center; Mountain Health & Community Services, Inc.; Old Globe Theatre; The Preuss School UCSD; University of San Diego Hahn School of Nursing & Health Science; and San Diego Zoo Global.

This letter was also sent to the City of San Diego engineering department: Please tell me why the contractor is tearing up a newly constructed ramp at the still uncompleted lifeguard station project at La Jolla Cove? Why aren’t construction projects led with hard completion deadlines? Finish late, pay penalties. Finish early, get bonus.
This relatively small project is taking an unreasonable amount of time. Most of the time there are very few workers on the site. Today (Aug. 8) I only saw the one breaking up the new concrete ramp. Getting Saturday overtime?
