A fab first impression of Catalina Island. Just 26 miles across the sea from Los Angeles, but quiet & casual and beachy & beautiful. Great ride over on the Catalina Express and a nice room at Hotel Atwater. Catalina Express @discoverla @visitca

It was tight, but we made it to Long Beach in time to get the 2 pm Catalina Express catamaran ferry to Catalina Island! Born and raised in California but this is my first time visiting Catalina! The ships look very nice, and we have lounge access! Catalina Express Visit California

The Gate Gourmet catering strike by workers who supply food for flights out of Toronto Pearson is over. But airlines say it will take a couple days before full in-flight food services is restored. Pack a sandwich just in case.

Also, it's quite foggy at Pearson today. Our flight to LA is still listed as on time, but Air Canada just sent me an email to say the fog could affect our flight.

Pretty busy morning at Toronto Pearson. I suggest arriving a little earlier than normal to deal with lineups and security. Not to mention US customs if you're heading to the States.

Canada’s Jamal Murray takes charge and the Denver Nuggets beat the Lakers in the NBA playoffs. I like Los Angeles as a city, but love seeing Murray win this one. And kinda like seeing LeBron and the Lakers lose.

Shohei Ohtani is so disingenuous. “I didn’t know my interpreter was a gambler.” “I was surprised to see stories about me wanting to play in Toronto.” He’s a liar. And a bad one at that.
