Life is full of changes. In business, in families and in relationships with friends, nothing ever stays exactly the same. While most change is gradual and easy to accept, sometimes people face a major transition, often unexpected, that can be potentially frightening and stressful. It doesn’t have to be. It’s a choice whether to view a change as an opportunity, or whether to try desperately to maintain the status quo and stay within a comfort zone. One step in making the most of change is to see it as a chance to add to or...
A world premiere play opened at The Cygnet Theater in Old Town San Diego recently. "The Wind and the Breeze" is by a new playwright Nathan Alan Davis. I will begin with what I liked. Sean Fanning's set design was a home run. The lighting design by R. Craig Wolf delights the eye and adds to the wonder. Steven Leffue is a renowned sound designer. yet the rap sequences are muddled. I can offer only praise for the actors. Often it must have required courage. The story begins in... Full story

There are a few things gardeners can do now to provide some relief for their cherished roses once the weather gets really hot....

They present an alarming picture of rapid growth that demands building a new high school for up to 1,500 students. What they don’t admit is that not all of these... Full story
