Update:

I am not a minister, by any means. But the State of California had ordained me to perform weddings. At the request of former students, and against my better judgement, I have performed two weddings. I was prepared for that to be all. Then I got a call from Brittany who with Jake, former student since age 6, asked me if I would officiate their upcoming wedding, October 10, 2020? I was flattered and honored, but not eager as it is a huge responsibility for me, I did agree.

So last night, we met at Descanso's in Costa Mesa ... 

to eat and discuss the wedding plans. It is exciting to see this beautiful young couple plan their life together.
 

 

  

In the news ...

 

I love tennis, and a few players in particular, Rafael Nadal, Serena, and now Naomi Osaka. Naomi is a soft-spoken, humble, kind young lady. Tennis star Naomi Osaka, who has donned face masks during the US Open featuring Black people whose deaths have sparked calls for racial justice.

Osaka was nearly brought to tears by video messages from theparents of Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery thanking her.

I feel like I'm a vessel at this point in order to spread awareness.

A New York artist is chronicling the pandemic 

by sketching people wearing masks on the subway.

An artist who used his talent to cope with the 

coronavirus pandemic is now documenting history 

with his art for a new series he's called the 

"COVID mask subway drawings."

Every day for almost a month, Devon Rodriguez   ...

 

has spent hours taking random trips on the subway 

in search of the perfect muse. When he finds someone, 

he uses a sketchbook and lead holder to 

bring them to life on paper without missing a detail 

from the creases in their mask to the curls in their hair.

More information and a short video of his drawing, here.
