"There are better things to be doing at this hour of the day...like contemplating your second martini."

I had to agree with the old man sitting behind me at last night's Newport Harbor Commission meeting.

If you are really curious about what I was doing at a Harbor Commission meeting, take a look at Tuesday's OC Register.

In case you cannot wait for the meeting minutes to be posted online, the end of sailing in Newport Harbor does not appear to be upon us.

Interesting note about sailors in Newport Beach (at least sailors who attend Harbor Commission meetings): They are all 20 to 30 (or more) years older than me...
