Nasa Hataoka wins LPGA tournament at Wilshire Country Club
The last time Wilshire Country Club allowed spectators to attend the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) tournament was three years ago, in 2019. The impact of COVID-19 was very much felt: the tournament was cancelled in 2020. In 2021, it returned but was closed to everyone but the press. Not this year. The LPGA’s Dio […]
Notarile’s commute takes him to galaxies far, far away
Talk about a commute: For the last five years, cinematographer Crescenzo Notarile of Windsor Square has been working in the 32nd century. Or perhaps the 25th century.

Summer camp by lake is as awe-inspiring as it was in 1946
Skylake Yosemite Camp looks divine — on its website. It’s probably not so picture-perfect in real life, I thought. And then I met a camp alumna. “It is my spiritual homeland.
