(Community Matters) Regret missing this evening’s Acton Business School faculty/staff holiday event and, most especially, adopted-goddaughter Melissa Henderson’s birthday bash.

My almost flu, turned head cold, decided to turbo charge today, and even if I did feel good othewise than horizontal, wouldn’t want to expose anyone.  Imagining I’ll wake up 100% tomorrow.  Glad Steven’s out carrying the household flag.

(Community Matters) I’m proud of Los Angeles Episcopalians for not discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. Congratulations Bishop-elect Glasspool.

Sad this will cause some pain, and our church still works through this issue in communion.

(Community Matters) Holiday cheer and merriment – what a super time of the year. 

Cocktails and hors d’ouevres at Alexa & Blaine Wesner’s last night as they welcomed our 2020 colleagues to town.  So many dear friends in attendance including John Thornton, Marc & Suzanne Winkelman, Lynn Meredith &  Jim Martson.  There’s a magic to their home that allows extraordinary elegance while preserving intimacy and casualness.  (we had to duck out eary) At today’s 2020 meeting we’re discussing healthcare with a couple of stellar panels.  

and healthcare reform became one of the topics at our subsequent dinner celebrating David Booth’s birthday with Suzanne, Chandler and four of their dear friends.  Most insightful to gain the perspective of UCLA professor & LA Dept of Health Service Director, Dr. Jonathan Fielding as well as that of all guests, including Karol Fielding, Pam & Edmund McIlhenney.
