North Coast Repertory “Don’t Dress for Dinner” Keeps Audience Laughing from Start to Finish
Need a break from computer shutdowns, political rhetoric and inflation woes? If so, you have got to drive to North Coast Repertory in Solana Beach and take in the final production for their 42nd Season, “Don’t Dress for Dinner”. This fast-paced, wonderfully acted, hilarious farce will provide a fun and extremely entertaining break from everything going on around you. “Don’t Dress for Dinner” is an adaptation by Robin Hawdon of a play by French playwright Marc Camoletti called “Pyjama Pour Six” (“A Pajama for 6”). The English version of the play opened in 1991 in London at the West End at the Apollo Theatre. It had a short run on Broadway in 2012 at the American Airlines Theatre and was nominated for two Tony Awards.
After Soto's departure, San Diego's record looks similar to last year
Juan Soto has come and gone, and the San Diego Padres don’t seem to have changed much. The Padres were 12 games over .500 in August 2022 when they acquired Soto in a blockbuster deal with the Washington Nationals. They finished that year a distant second to the Dodgers in the NL West, but then they beat Los Angeles in the playoffs and made the NL Championship Series. Then last year, San Diego finished a disappointing 82-80 despite plenty of production from Soto. The Padres traded him to the Yankees in the offseason, and although it’s been a big loss — Soto has played brilliantly in New York — San Diego is in pretty much the same spot. The Padres are 52-50 after Sunday’s win over Cleveland. San Diego did finish with a run differential of plus-104 last year, and this season’s team isn’t on pace to end up anywhere close to that, but it’s still remarkable how the arrival and departure of an MVP-caliber player didn’t turn the Padres into a juggernaut and didn’t leave them out of contention.

Lucky Israeli-Flagged Desserts at Sycuan Slots Tournament
SAN DIEGO – This past weekend I stayed at Sycuan Casino Resort on a reservation owned by one branch of the Kumeyaay people. My favorite slot machine is in the non-smoking section. It is named Aztec Temple and is a “penny slot.” I like this machine since I am a graduate of San Diego State University, whose team nicknames are the Aztecs, and I always get more than I put in (fingers crossed I don’t jinx myself for next time).
