Too Late
Thank you for your response to my e-mail. I feel that I am sailing under false colors. I spent over 20 years in the NAVY then obtained employment with the SDUSD. I will retire July 2014. I am currently preparing to become a lawyer so I can practive law when the above occurs. I hold a BA, a Master in Forensic Sciences and I am currently scheduled to take the Baby Bar October 25, 2011. I will then continue in law school. When I do appear in court representing a cause, I will be fulfilling a life long dream. I am a wage earner and proud that education has been my tool to better myself. My wife is very supportive of our dreams. Miss Diva, I read your weekly column on a continuous basis. You appear to discuss everyday issues that occur to everyday people. That is the universal appeal that you encircle us in. Thank you.— August 11, 2011 11:25 a.m.

My wife and I are saddened that you were forced by circumstances to leave your condo. I have been in our house for over 30 years. My wife has been here nearly 20 years. There have been several times that I or we thought that a move was immenent. But through hard work and luck we were able to overcome the adversity. We do wish you both the best in your new digs. What is your decor? We would like to send a "house warming" gift. Just something small and warm.— August 9, 2011 11:07 a.m.
Generation Gap
As a 58 y/o male that called Los Angeles home from 1957 until January 27, 1970 due to enlisting in the USN, I can recall the Sunday "family" time with my mother, father and sister. My father would invite me to "go down" with him to Canters, a Deli on Fairfax, to purchase fish, bagles and fresh cream cheese to have for breakfast. On the way out of the Deli, he would stop and buy a Sunday Times from the "paperman" that was always there every Sunday selling newspapers. Upon arriving home, we, as a family, would consume what was bought. Then, all of us would each have their own "area" in which we would review and enjoy the "paper". My father in his easy chair, my mother at the kitchen table, my sister on the couch and me on the carpet, reading the comics. I remember reading "Henry, Rick-O-Shey Beetle Bailey" and other favorites. It was OUR time as a family to ponder that world of individual interests. I learned about the OP-Ed pages, history, geography, events of WWll and Korea, and yes, that weird place called Cambodia and Vietnam. Little did I or any family member realize just how familiar I would become with these strange sounding countries. Yes, that was a typical Sunday morning with my family. I cherish my memories of that era of my life with all the gusto of life itself.— October 13, 2009 1:15 p.m.
