On our our way to see and have dinner with friends in Las Vegas. It's nice to be back in old Terminal 1. The Banker's Hill Bar is perfect and Bartender Rich is providing excellent service.

Had a great time at Silent Movie Mondays last night at the Balboa as they presented the original "The Mark of Zorro" from 1920 starring Douglas Fairbanks. The amazing Ken Double was again brought in from Atlanta to play the fantastic Wonder Morton organ. He also participated in the post talkback.

We had a great afternoon enjoying a presentation by San Diego journalist Dean Calbreath on his book "The Sergaent", which tells the incredible life story of Nicholas Said. It was a terrific lecture. The event was at a private home here in LJ, sponsored by the Yale Club of SD.
