It was a beautiful weekend, and I guess you know that. I find it amazing the weather in the San Diego is almost always so nice.
Did you know you can rent aquatic equipment (kayak, paddle board) at the Crown Cove Aquatic Center (CCAC) on Saturday and Sunday?
So, this was the first weekend I have been able to Stand Up Paddle (SUP) in San Diego Bay at the Crown Cove Aquatic Center. SUP is a great core workout that has a very Zen feel as you move through the water. The CCAC has lessons…This gets to my concern about health for our faculty, staff, board, and managers. Too many of us are working insane hours, sitting behind desks, and stress eating (some of you know I am talking about you too). This is so bad for us, and the ramifications are not good. We are going to have more discussion about this as we move into fall. Not only can we help each other be better leaders, we can support each other in good health. Try to stand once an hour. When you have a break take a five-minute walk.
Many of you have requested to make an appointment to see me, and it has been very difficult to get everyone scheduled because there have been many requests, and I do like to spend quality time listening to people, so I hope you will have patience. I also have work to do, so I apologize it is sometimes taking a while. When something, happens we end up bumping people and changing schedules…and we recognize that is not fun. Thank you for your patience. I have heard some powerful stories about caring, student learning, and commitment to SWC. I still believe there is a large core base of people who care deeply about students, each other, and the college as a whole.

My quote for today comes from the SD PRIDE website:
BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE
