I've been vocal in my opposition to many of the tax measures that have come before our community over the last year, including the proposed property transfer tax, the TOT tax increase, the minimum wage increase and several others. I oppose Measure N, believing it is poorly written and will do little but increase the inefficiency that haunts our local government. However, when it comes to Measure U, the school bond initiative for Lake Tahoe Unified School District, I find myself in an uncharacteristic position: advocating for its passage.

When my dear friend Ginger Nicolay-Davis texted me the promotional photo for the play "The Guys" currently at the Valhalla Boathouse Theatre, I must admit I had no idea the storyline.
I saw the local firefighters on the pier, flanking Ginger, and so I texted her back, "Wow, your timing is fortuitous," as I was just in Manhattan for one day, last Wednesday, September 11. I sat next to five firemen on the subway coming from the Memorial celebration at the Towers. Little did I know, this play "The Guys" is about that horrific day in our country's history.
