Alas, April, the mild-mannered month that typically heralds the coming of spring — and sparkles like its designated diamond birthstone with a pile of precious celebrations — is now on lock-down. These fun events that highlight fertility and rebirth, freedom, the national pastime, pranks and humor, and literary and planetary pursuits will all have to be rejiggered this year.

Last week I wrote about meeting my first husband, Fred, when I was in college and he was a student at Albert Einstein Medical School in the Bronx. After six months or so, he decided to risk introducing me to his parents even though they would be disappointed that I wasn’t the nice Jewish girl of their dreams. “Disappointed” may be a little bit of an understatement. The gist of that meeting, as I recall, was “Are you trying to kill your mother???”

La Jolla resident Scott Flavell was grappling with his own coronavirus-caused problem: laying off workers in his Kearny Mesa factory. It manufactured postural correction products for the chiropractic industry — not exactly an essential business. As Flavell left a local market and seeing grocery employees working closely with others, a simultaneous solution to both problems suddenly dawned on him. His factory would switch to manufacturing face masks and donate them to grocery stores. He shifted production and made 10,000 masks at an initial cost of $3,000, but offering them for free.

A 1964 graduate of The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, Christine Oatman has devoted most of her adult life to art-making and teaching. Her work has been shown locally and nationally, and for 36 years she taught art in city schools and community colleges, often doing collaborative projects with elementary school students. Her current exhibition at La Jolla’s Athenaeum Music & Arts Library — “Stories of Innocence and Experience” — invites visitors of all ages to step into a 1950s-era classroom, and it’s more of a full mind-and-body experience than a regular art show. This is one class you won’t want to miss, and it’s closing March 7, 2020.
