I am compelled to write this morning, about anything and everything. But I’ll spare you the usual crazy ramblings that rattle around in my head and just stick to the important stuff. The reason I have to say something is because Mayor Sanders and the City Council are moving to drastically reduce the hours at the Balboa Park Activity Center. This affects me, and so many of my friends, in a huge way.
If you don’t already know, Jojo and I are HUGE table tennis junkies, and the BPAC is our hangout of choice. Actually, it’s one of the top table tennis facilities in the nation with a bunch of nationally ranked players and world famous coaches! Not so long ago, we used to haunt this place 5 or 6 days a week…playing weekly tournaments, grudge matches with friends, and hard core training for big competitions like the US Open or US Nationals. This reduction in hours will leave us all on the street, we have to stop them from cutting hours!
I admit, I haven’t even played pong since this past July because we’ve been non-stop busy with wedding season. But now that wedding season is coming to a close for the year, I might be lucky enough to return to the sport I am so passionate about. We’ll see if our petitions and letters can make a difference.

In other news, I went to a concert at the Belly Up last night with my friends Stellan and Angie Bengtsson. I’m not a huge country fan, but Rodney Crowell and friends were just some dang good music! Joined on the fiddle by Jenny Scheinman and on the acoustic guitar by Jed Huges, Rodney tore it up last night and played for 3 hours! Beautiful harmonies, sweet melodies, rich voices, and hilarious lyrics. I loved every minute of this show!

Lastly, we are getting ready for Thanksgiving in New Jersey. That means flying 3,000 miles to freezing weather, and I don’t have a single warm sweater or jacket! We’ll be visiting Jojo’s parents and his twin brother’s brand new baby boy!
