This is my final missive as my term has come to an end. 2021 is (almost) wrapped up. 2021 has certainly been a year. Not quite like 2020, but certainly not everything we wanted it to be either. We started off the year hosting a handful of time trials and driving tours, in the grip […]

Welcome to the November edition of the Windblown Witness. Ready or not, the holiday season is upon us, and with it comes our annual club parties: the volunteer appreciation party on November 28, our Porsche Prom and Installation Dinner on January 8 and then our Driver’s Awards party on January 30. Additionally, Zone 8 (of […]

It’s been a busy month and September seemed to fly by. October looks to be the same, as we once again have a calendar full of events. I was finally able to make a “Last Tuesday Social,” my first one since we restarted them. The venue was Casa Machada, which is also the home base […]

Once again, summer is winding down, only about 10 days left as I write this. (We can only hope the fires around the country wind down along with it.) As I look to the fall, I see that our calendar is looking more and more ‘normal’ as time goes on. Our big track events, Time […]

Normalcy, what is it? What will it be? We don’t really know yet, now do we? But in our attempt to know, to rediscover, to rebuild, we’ve now held several live, in-person events with the relaxing of COVID restrictions. We had a fantastic New member party (thanks to Lana Gill) with over 120 people attending. […]

Sending you this month’s missive from French Lick, Indiana, where I am attending the PCA Parade with Susan and my daughter’s family. This is the third time Susan and I have driven to Parade. This year we went through Colorado, visiting Durango, Telluride and Breckenridge and then headed east through Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. Our […]

My message is a little later than usual this month; I wanted to wait to see about today, re-opening day. Looks like it is really going to happen! Social distancing, capacity limits and broad facial covering mandates are going away in most situations (though those not yet vaccinated should still wear them). In response to […]

Looking Forward One could look back on this year and see (from a club perspective) how little filled our calendar – a few track events, a few driving tours, a few zoom events. All events that were relatively (if not absolutely) safe in the pandemic environment. But the time has finally come to look forward, […]

Great news! I’m halfway vaccinated! One down, one to go! Oh, yes, almost forgot – and San Diego is back in the “orange” tier, and if things continue as they are, may very well be in the “yellow” tier in a few weeks’ time. Moreover, the governor has announced that if these trends continue statewide […]

As I write this Spring and Daylight Savings Time are both just around the corner. Spring has always been considered a time of rebirth and renewal, and we are especially hopeful that is the case this year, as we await the subsidence of the COVID pandemic. In the meantime, however, we do have a few […]
